I'm missing a death date for Rhoda Ragle TOON and places of burial for
Rhoda Ragle TOON and her husband Lucian TOON.
Rhoda RAGLE was b. 1835 probably on the farm of her parents Peter Sr. and
Margaret Wadsworth RAGLE. near Raglesville.
She married Lucian TOON March 27, 1856.
The 1870 Indiana Census for Martin Co. McCameron Twp, dwelling 165, p. 362
shows her at age 35 with her husband and 7 of ultimately 9 children, the
last b. abt. 1874.
According to a letter written by her younger brother Alonzo dated: "at Lush
Toons 9 & 16 1900" Rhoda and her family are intact, though there is
apparently some illness in the family.
I have checked the Crane cemetery listings without success, tho there are
some TOONs buried in the Williams Cemetery in the reservation just south of
the Burns City gate.
I walked the Raglesville cemetery most recently in about 1996, and did not
spot Rhoda's grave there, tho many stones are down.
Some TOON descendents are buried in the Burns City Cemetery, but I do not
have a listing. Could some kind soul check this cemetery for me? Rhoda's
name was alternatively spelled Roda, etc. and Lucian sometimes 'Lucien.'
Lucian died in 1906.
Any other information about this family would be received with gratitude.
John Ragle
