The informant of the death was Mabel Warren, nurse, of Niagara.
Dagenhardt, had been working with James Allen on leases at Mt Catherine when both men were brought into town a week before their deaths - Dagenhardt to the private hospital and Allen to the Government Hospital. They died within a few hours of one another.
Allen, a widower, left five parentless children, while Dagenhardt left a wife and seven children in Victoria.
