Wairarapa Daily Times, 13 July 1909
Passing Of A Pioneer There passed away at his residence, Upper Plain, at 7 o'clock last evening, one of Masterton's earliest pioneers, in the person of Mr R. D. Dagg. Deceased, who was eighty-three years of age, had been ailing for some considerable time and his death in consequence did not come as a surprise. He leaves a family of eight children, four sons and four daughters - Messrs H. J. Dagg (Mauriceville), R. J. Dagg, J. G. Dagg, and J. T. Dagg (Masterton) and Mesdames G. H. Graham, De Lisle and E. J. Rose (Masterton), and Mrs Townson (Gisborne) - with whom the sincerest sympathy will be felt in their sad bereavement.

Deceased arrived in New Zealand some fifty years ago from the Old Country, and was one of the earliest settlers in the Wairarapa. He was one of those who, by their strenuous labours, helped to convert a wilderness of bush into fertile farms and smiling homesteads. He took a keen interest in public matters, and was of the originators of the Master- Settlement Scheme, while be was also associated with the Masterton Road Board and other local bodies. The funeral will leave the homestead, Upper Plain, at 1.30 p.m. to-morrow.

The late Mr Dagg was one of those strenuous and capable settlers who performed real pioneer work in the 'breaking in' of 'God's Own County.' Some 50 years ago he arrived in Wellington from the Old Country and was one of the earliest settlers in the Wairarapa who literally carved their way over the Rimutaka and up the Wairarapa Valley. Before leaving England, he had gained much valuable experience in farming pursuits and many of the original settlers in this district owe him a debt of gratitude for the assistance rendered in working their holdings to the best advantage at a time when the struggle for existence was particularly keen. Farming in those days was not the pleasant occupation that it is nowadays in most cases, but the deceased gentleman, who had been educated at an agricultural college in England and was generally well read, toiled on bravely and successfully. A good many years ago the late Mr Dagg took a great deal of interest in public matters and was one of the originators of the Masterton Small Farms Settlement scheme. He was, also, associated with the Masterton Road Board and other local bodies.
