Ragsdale obituary provided by Lavonia C. Taff, publication information unknown

Died

Ragsdale - At residence, 4 miles southwest of this city, at 9:30 this morning (Sept. 1), Charles A. Ragsdale, aged 86 years and 8 months.
Thus again does the grim reaper, death, appear in our midst, carrying away to the great Beyond and better life one of Randolph's oldest, truest citizens. Uncle Charlie Ragsdale was known from border to border of the county, and wherever known was well liked and respected.
He was born in Mason county, Kentucky, but came to this county in 1840, where he lived the remainder of his life. His death was due to a paralytic stroke received seven years ago, never recovering from the shock.
He leaves a wife and ten children in this world of care and trouble to mourn his demise. The children are: Julius, Benj. and Geo. Ragsdale, of this county; John Waller Ragsdale of southwest Mo.; Louis Ragsdale, of Texas; and Mrs. Louisa Hardin, Mrs. Amanda Owings [sic], Mrs. Ans [sic] Gilliam, Mrs. Nancy Jennings and Miss Eliza Ragsdale. He also leaves some 50 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren.
The funeral services will be conducted at the old family residence, 2 p.m. Friday, by Rev. J. R. Terrill of the Baptist Church. Burial at Julius Ragsdale burying ground, east of this city.

Five Generations Present
Notable Ragsdale Family Reunion at Moberly, Missouri

An interesting and somewhat unusual family reunion was held at Moberly a few days ago. In 1841 Charles Ragsdale and family moved from Indiana to Randolph county. Mr. Ragsdale died about seven years ago, aged 86 years. His wife, who survives him, is 90 years old, and is still hale and active as persons of 50 usually are.
To this couple twelve children were born, ten of whom are yet living, and they, their children and grandchildren formed the reunion as follows: Mrs. Cassandra Ragsdale, aged 90; Julius Ragsdale, 72; Louisa Hardin, 70; Elizabeth Toombs, 68; B.A. Ragsdale, 66; Amanda Owens, 61; Louis Ragsdale, 59; F.M. Ragsdale, 57; G.W. Ragsdale, 55; Nancy Jennings, 53; Melissa Gillian, 50; Annie Ragsdale, 63; John Ragsdale, 47.
Eight of these were present and the average age of mother and children present was 80.19 years.
Julius has ten children, twenty-nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; Mrs. Hardin, seven children, twenty granchildren; B.A. Ragsdale, seven children and seventeen grandchildren; Mrs. Owens, six children, six grandchildren; F.M. Ragsdale, twelve children, eight grandchildren; G.W. Ragsdale, eleven children; Mrs. Jennings, two children; Mrs. Gillian, one child; J.W., five children, one granchild.
This gives Mrs. Cassandra Ragsdale sixty-one grandchildren, eighty-one great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren, or 146 in all.
