Clinton MO - Daniel Beryl Ragland was born August 31, 1899 near Calhoun, MO. He attended Merritt School and Clinton High School. As a teenager Dan became interested in working with steam engines. On May 25, 1923, he was united in marriage to Lena Tubbesing. To this union five children were born, four sons, Charles of Chilhowee, Bill of Clinton, Horace of Yakima, WA and Howard of Raytown and one daughter, Mrs. Joe (Virginia) Bowser of North Kansas City. Dan farmed and worked several jobs while raising his family. In the fall of 1950 he sold the farm and moved to Clinton. He became active in the community serving on the city council and became active in the Eastern Star and The Golden Valley Shrine Club which he served as treasurer for 14 years. He renewed his interest in steam engines and attended several shows and helped friends run them in demonstrations and parades. Lena preceded him in death in April of 1968. In September of 1969 he married Anna Butler who died in May of 1982. No longer able to care for himself he entered Chastain's Nursing Home for the remainder of his life. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Gussie Evans of Kansas City, several nieces, nephews, sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws. One sister, Nellie Mae, preceded him in death. Dan was a kind, gentle man whose deep faith and convictions gained him the respect of all who knew him. His love of nature, toiling the soil, planting tiny seeds and nurturing them to full growth became one of his hobbies. Dan was always available to help his friends and family when in need. His five children, 13 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews were a great joy to him. He didn't distinguish between those related by marriage and those by blood. They were all his family and he was the happiest when they were around. Funeral services were held Friday, April 10, 1987 at the First Baptist Church. Masonic services were held under the Auspices of Clinton Lodge No 548 A.F. & A.M. Burial was in Clinton Memory Gardens under the direction of the Vansant-Mills Funeral Home.
