STRANGE N. CRAGUN Strange N. Cragun, the well-known and efficient ex-editor and owner of the Lebanon (Indiana) Patriot, springs from sturdy Scotch-Irish ancestry, his great-grandfather (Patrick Cragun) having come from the north of Ireland in an early day and having settled in Virginia. His son, ELISHA CRAGUN, grandfather of Strange N., was born in that state, but was among the pioneers of the southeast part of Rush county, Indiana, whence, in 1835, he came to Boone county and located in Eagle township, but afterward went west with his family and DIED AT COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA.
