Eli traveled to Lane County Oregon in 1853 and was part of the famous "Lost Elliott Wagon Train" that Bill Bagley's aunt Evelyn Bagley Mansfield documented. The wagon train traveled from Iowa and attempted to cross the Cascades from Bend to Eugene. They got lost (Donner style) and almost starved to death in the winter before folks from Cottage Grove, Oregon came and saved them after a few men from the Wagon Train rode down and told them where the rest of the train was. http://www.oregonpioneers.com/1853.htm In 1865, two of his daughters, Matilda Eleanor Bagley and Mary (Bagley) McCullough, drowned in the Williamette River in Oregon. Matilda's body was never recovered.
