New Wilson Contacts - Dague

Again, I've had the pleasure of "meeting" new family members. When Dawn commented on something she had seen on my blogsite, concerning her great grandmother, Addie Brachvogel Dague, our enthusiasm for this new contact encouraged me to be more diligent in blogging.

To begin...Addie's mother, Rosella Wilson Brachvogel was the twin sister of my ggrandmother, Rosetta Wilson Carrington. They were twins that had come to South Dakota by covered wagon when young girls. Addie had seven children. One of them, Dale had many children (13?) of whom one was Doyle Dean.

Dawn's information sent to me starts here: I may decide to "pick and choose" and paraphrase as I go along. I will eliminate the names of those living relatives but will include Dawn's information on my Family Tree program.

"Doyle Dean was born August 27, 1951 at Huron, SD and married Helen (Earlene) McDaniel, Sept. 16, 1972. Doyle was a miner. Pop died September 19, 2007 of a heart attack."

"Doyle Dean Dague of Pueblo West died at home Sept. 19, 2007 of a heart attack. He was born August 27, 1951 at Huron, SD to Dale and Betty Jean (Tollefson) Dague.

Mr. Dague worked in various jobs, starting with Spino's as a mobile home setter and then with Climax Molydenum Company as an underground miner until it closed in 1982. He then worked at Poncha Lumber, and returned to Climix until its second closing at which time he went to work for Salida Salvage.

He and Earlene moved to Kansas for a short time, but returned to Colorado which was home to them. He was currently employed in Colorado Springs for SkyWest Airlines.

He loved hunting pheasants in the Dakotas, boating on the pontoon with his family, especially his grandchildren, who lived to drive Poppy's pontoon.

Working with his hands was something he loved to do too, whether it was helping any of his many friends, extended family or working on their new dream home in Pueblo West, you could count on his help and expertise.

First and foremost he was a loving husband, father, grandpa, brother and friend, whose sense of humore and quick laugh will be greatly missed.

Mr. Dague is survived by...omitted, by blogger for privacy of surviving family.

Though not mentioned...I'm assuming that Doyle passed away in the state of Colorado. He sounds like someone who respected his role in family and gave his all to those who knew him. I wish I could have met him.
