My Dagenhart connection comes about through the marriage of my maternal grandmother, Carrie Katie
Grant, to William Dagenhart.
Miss Carrie as she was known and William had 6 kids. There were three boys Jack, Everette,
and Will. And there were three girls Jackie, Lois, and Polly.
Miss Carrie and her husband separated early on and oral tradition has her raising her family
on her own with help from members of her Grant family. In later years Miss Carrie made her home with some of her
children and their families. It is these times she lived with us that compromise some of my fondest memories.
