Clinton, MO. - D. B. Ragland died at his home north of Chalybeate Springs, June 3 1942, at 11:15 a.m. He came to his grave in full age, like a shock of corn cometh in its season. His days were greatly multiplied and the years of his life were increased far beyond most of his generation. All had gone before him to their rest and he stood alone, the last of his generation, "as the shaking of an olive tree and the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done."
His parents, Nathaniel and Frances Ragland, came to Missouri from Kentucky in 1833, purchasing their first home of 80 acres in Howard County, Missouri, through the General Land Office of the U.S., in 1835, during the administration of Andrew Jackson. In 1839, they moved to Monroe County where they purchased a home, during the administration of Martin Van Buren. This was the home of this pioneer couple for 15 years. In 1854, the family moved to Clinton, Mo., which became their permanent home.
Daniel Burger Ragland was born July 25, 1855, in Clinton. The home at that time was where the Goss Clothing Store now stands. He was the youngest of the family of eight children. When a small lad, his parents moved to the Ragland farm north of Clinton, where S. W. Riffel now lives. There he spent his boyhood days. He was educated in the Clinton public schools.
After the war between the states, the family moved to Clinton, where he and his brothers, Nat, John, Bob, Tom and a sister, later Mrs. M. F. Blakemore, were reared.
"Burg" as he was known to his many friends was employed for several years in the hardware store of his brother-in-law, Geo. H. Blakemore. Later, he served as deputy sheriff of Henry County while his friend, Will Elliston, was sheriff. Few men in Henry County had wider acquaintanceship than he.
On September 2, 1891, he was united in marriage to Laura Frances Duncan. To this union three children were born: Nellie Mae who died at the age of 4 1/2 years; a son Dan Ragland, east of Clinton, and a daughter, now Mrs. Lynn Evans, of Clinton.
Death claimed the mother September 27, 1904, but courage and faith and the love for his children and home inspired the father to carry on.
On August 26, 1908, he was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Wade of Shawnee Mound, who survives him. She had been constant in her care; his stay and support in his declining years.
He leaves six grandchildren to whom he was devoted.
Mr. Ragland would have been 87 years old had he lived until July 25. He united with the Methodist Church many years ago and lived true to his faith. He was a charter member of the Clinton Masonic Lodge No. 548, and was held high in the honor and affection of all men, and of the community 15 miles north of Clinton, where he had lived 51 years.
Funeral services were conducted at the Wilkinson Funeral Home on Friday. Burial with the Masonic ritual was in the Calhoun cemetery. Pall bearers were four great nephews: Robert, Baker, Calvin and Howard Ragland, Don Cameron and C. O. Fewel and the many beautiful flowers expressed the sympathy of his lodge, relatives and friends.
