Teddy Ben Daggett
November 22, 1937 - January 19, 2022
Teddy Ben Daggett, of Joseph,
Oregon, was born November 22,
1937 in Joseph, to Henry Ward
Beecher Daggett and LoVisa
(Sumpter) Daggett. They lived on
Marr Flat until he was 6 and they
moved to town so he could go to
school. God called him to his heav-
enly home on January 19, 2022. He
died peacefully at home.
His father passed away when he was only 7 and he
helped his mother all he could until her death in 1975.
During his school years, he set pins at the Joseph Bowl-
ing Alley, raised hogs, worked for Harley Tucker on his
ranch, and at the grocery store for Carlyle Roundy until
graduation. After graduation, he worked for Chief Jo-
seph Lumber Co.
In 1959, he married Julia Catherine (Marko) Dag-
gett of St. Charles, Michigan, and they had Tammy
Elaine Daggett and Brian Ted Daggett. Julia Kay passed
away in 1996.
In 1976, Ted went to work at Kilgore’s Auto Parts
in Joseph and worked there until he got a job with Wal-
lowa County as Wallowa County Weed Supervisor. He
worked there until a chemical accident left him with
permanent lung damage in 1997. He loved helping
other people and neighbors all he could. He also loved
hunting, getting wood, and the outdoors.
On August 30, 1997, he married Virginia (Guida)
Daggett of Enterprise and they had a wonderful life to-
gether. They enjoyed traveling, hunting, and enjoying
their children and grandchildren.
Ted is survived by his wife, Virginia; his daughter,
Tammy (Daggett) Davilla and her husband, Larry, of
Baker City; grandsons Bryce VanDyke and Brett Van-
Dyke; son Brian Daggett and wife, Shelley, of LaPine;
and granddaughter, Kelsie Daggett. He is also survived
by 3 step-daughters: Barbie Windsor (Don Renfroe),
Columbia City, Brenda Kaneshiro (Denny), Roseburg,
and Deena Hodges (Benjie) of Rocky Mount, Va.;
step-grandchildren: Terry Windsor, Elijah, Tabitha, and
Esther Kaneshiro, Elisabeth Mooney, Danny Taylor and
Chelsea Weaver; great-granddaughters: Carleigh Weav-
er and Braelyn Weaver, and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife Ju-
lia; brother Bee Daggett (Alta); sisters Gladys Marks
(Wayne), and Fern Arnold (Gene).
A memorial service celebrating his life will be
held February 5 at 11 a.m. at the Enterprise Christian
Church, 85035 Joseph Hwy 82.

JOSEPH — Not every
competitor was out in the
snow this past weekend. In
a year when public events
had to be canceled because
of the COVID-19 pandemic,
the Hurricane Creek Grange
didn’t let people go hungry,
as they put on a chili cook-off
Saturday, Jan. 22 at the grange
hall near Joseph.
People were in and out all
day long getting bowls of chili
from the 10 entrants with corn
bread on the side, as well as a
sale of whole pies and looking
over items at a bazaar in the
main hall of the grange.
Both events were a fund-
raiser for the grange, said
Barbara McCormack, who
serves on the grange execu-
tive committee.
“We should have right at
$300; I think that was good,”
she said of the proceeds from
the cook-off . “I give us a 90%
good rating. Not bad at all,
but we couldn’t have done
it with even one less worker
and I think we had an excel-
lent crew that got along really
well.”
Judges
were
Clau-
dia Boswell, grange mas-
ter; Brinda Stanley, from the
neighboring Liberty Grange;
Zach Woods, from Wal-
lowa County Grain Growers;
and Kim Hutchison and Jim
Hensen of the Enterprise Vet-
erans of Foreign Wars post.
Winners of the cookoff
were People’s Choice David
McBride, fi rst place Darlene
Stephens, second place Mar-
garet Bradshaw and third
place Cathryn Patterson.
McCormack said that
Community Awards Ban-
quet last weekend and pre-
sented the following awards:
Jerry Weaver, Distinguished
Service Award; Bob Wal-
lauer, Youth Physical Fit-
ness; A. L. Duckett, Senior
Citizen Award; Charlene
Haines, Outstanding Young
Educator; Bob Masterson,
Honorary Jaycee Member;
and Larry McFetridge, Out-
standing Young Farmer.

although this was the grange’s
fi rst such event, she hopes it
will continue.
“We had quite a few peo-
ple say, ‘Oh I’ll compete next
year if you do it again.’ So
the hope is that it will be an
annual event that grows a lit-
tle bigger each year,” she said.
