ALFRED RAGLE DEAD. AN OLD SOLDIER EXPIRES SUDDENLY WEDNESDAY EVENING. ? Alfred Ragle, a soldier of the late Civil war, died very suddenly Wednesday evening. Mr. Ragle was subject to heart trouble, and it was the cause of his death. He was on our streets as usual that day, seemingly as well as ever. About five o'clock he dropped in Erwin's meat market. He was taken home, and died a few minutes after arriving there

Daughter of Minerva Almeda Casey and Alfred Ragle, Eliza Jane (Dicy) Ragle was my Great Grandmother. I have quite a lot of history on that family as well as the Smith family of Eliza Jane (Dicy) Ragle. She married secondly to George DePew Smith, son of Samuel S. Smith, born in Connecticut.
