Obituary: "Peter Ragle had gone out to his barn to feed his stock Wednesday, Nov, 17, and when he called by his wife answered, but not coming to the house for some time, Mrs. Ragle sent a boy after him. The boy found the old gentleman in the barn dead with a basket of corn on his arm. He had died suddenly from a smothering spell, to which he was sometimes subject. Mr. Ragle was eighty three years old, was a pioneer of Daviess County, having settled on the place where he died near Raglesville, many years ago.
