I recently posted a query concerning the identity of Alice RAGLE
and Sam ROCKET. Many thanks for the assistance rendered by several list
members.
To bring the query to at least partial closure: Alice "Allie"
RAGLE b. 12/23/1864 and Sam ROCKETT were m. 6/26/1888 in Knox Co. IN.
Allie RAGLE's father was John RAGLE b. 1808 Sullivan, TN. and her mother
was Margaret Hatch. John RAGLE was postmaster at Raglesville in Daviess
Co. around 1850 and had a store in Loogootee, Martin Co. in the 1860's.
Allie ROCKETT died as Alice RAGLE BERRY 24 Jan 1950 in Los
Angeles. Allie & Sam had two known children, Ragle Raymond ROCKETT b.
8/10/1889 d. 1/11/1959 and Albert L. ROCKETT b. 9/24/1891 d. 8/30/1960.
Both left surviving families. The two ROCKETT brothers were well known
movie producers in the silent film era, and are remembered particularly
for a prize-winning silent movie about President Lincoln. Ray ROCKETT is
listed in US Census Index Records as Raghe ROCKETT.
Once again, many thanks to the lists. I would still be eager to
hear from those who can add to this story.
John Ragle
