    Obituary, Source: Ragan Pruitt.
          This obituary appeared in the Southern Christian Advocate dated April 7, 1875.

    Obituary of Dr. Span Ragan
         
          Dr. Span Ragan was born in North Carolina, April 1st, 1818, was converted and joined the M. E. Church, South, at Canyhead campground, in Lee county, in 1853; and died in Terrell county, Ga., Jan. 24th, 1875.
          He never doubted his conversion. Naturally quiet and unobtrusive, he made no loud professions, but he lived right. He loved the Church, delighted in Sunday-school, and took a deep interest in all that pertained to the property of Zion. Among strangers, or in promiscuous companies, his words were few, and his manner retiring; but with his friends, he was sociable and pleasing. His conversation was always pure, and his life one of unswerving uprightness. In 1850, he was happily married to Miss Lieurany J. Speight, youngest daughter of Rev. Thos. Speight. In the relations of husband and father, he was faithful and true, and was, with his pious wife, eminently successful in training their children for God and the Church. When nigh unto death, he expressed a desire to live for the sake of his wife and children. He said home had been to him almost heaven on earth, but he was perfectly resigned to the will of God. His end was peace. He was long a faithful class-leader at Salem church. His death to us, is grievous loss- to him, great gain. J. R. Littlejohn
         
    --------------------------
    This obituary was found in the Bryan Family Bible, originally owned by Terrell Bryan, half brother to Span Ragan. Bill Ragan, a Span Ragan descendant, identified it as one published in the Dawson Journal on January 28, 1875.
         
    Deaths - Dr. Span Ragan died at his home in this County on last Sunday morning, after lingering for several weeks from an attach of typhoid pneumonia. Truly can we say that a kind husband, an affectionate father, an exemplary Christian, and a useful citizen has 'gone to that bourne from whence not traveler returns.'
    -----------------------
    A service monument was provided by the Veterans Administrations in 2002.

    On 12 Apr., 2003, after several months of planning, the Ragan-Speight Memorial Monument was dedicated by the descendants, along with the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Eugene Ragan Pruitt of Liburn, GA and William Ragan of Albany, GA were instrumental in making this family project a reality.

    "Obituary on the death of Mrs. Julia L. Ragan.
          Life has a pitiful tale to tell when sorrow enters a once happy household by the death of those who, as inmates of that home, gladdened a beautiful home-life with their sweet presence, but who today are quietly sleeping in their graves. Hardly had the dew moistened the new made grave of young Terrell Ragan when his devoted mother, Mrs. Julia L. Ragan, too, was called to die. This most estimable woman died at Bronwood on last Sunday, aged 52 years, relict of the late Dr. Spann Ragan. She bore here sufferings patiently, and with Christian resignation, she met the last enemy, death, triumphantly, feeling that she would have part in the first resurrection. Mrs. Ragan's example was such that life and light only grew brighter when she dispensed to those around her the attributes of her gentle and kindly nature, and her memory will be a rich legacy to those who knew her and loved her in this life. The cruel hand of disease still rests upon some of that once happy household and prayers are now ascending from many lips that God will in His mercy temper this prayers are now ascending from many lips that God will in His mercy temper this painful dispensation of His to His glory and the well being of the stricken ones."

Thomas Speight, and sister of Rev. Thomas S. [should be 'L' for Leroy] who died last winter. she was the wife of Dr. Spann Ragan, who has been dead about ten years.
          Joining the Church in early youth, she lived a life of consecration to God. By the death of her husband, she was left in charge of a family of children, several of whom were afflicted. The increased responsibility was faithfully met, and, in all her troubles she was patient and true, enduring as seeing him who is invisible. Her religious experiences were uniform, and she was always ready to give a reason for the hope that was in her. She met death fearlessly. a devoted mother, a kind friend, and a sincere Christian has gone to her reward."

    Death claims J. T. Ragan

    One of Dawson's Best Known Citizens
    Passed Away Thursday Night
    Funeral Tomorrow Morning

          Mr. Joe T. Ragan, one of Dawson's best known and most highly esteemed citizens, passed away at 8 o'clock Thursday night at his home on Lee Street. Death resulted from a severe attack of pleurisy and pericarditis. Mr Ragan's illness was of short duration. He came home last Thursday from a short trip to Atlantic Beach, and immediately took to his bed, and gradually grew worse until the end came.
          The deceased was 55 years of age and a native of Terrell County. He came to Dawson from Bronwood a number of years ago, and for several years had been superintendent of the Southern Cotton Oil Company. He is survived by his wife, four sons, Joseph, Ellis, Clarence and Terrell, and one little daughter, Dorothy.
          Funeral services will be held at the Methodist church, of which he had been a member for many years, Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, after which the Masons will take charge of the remains and inter them with the impressive rites of that order."

    P. T. Schley Lodge of Masons Passes Resolution on the Death of an esteemed Brother.
          To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Brethren of P. T. Schley Lodge No. 229, F. and A. M.: Your committee appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Brother Jos. T. Ragan, submit the following:
          Death in any form gives us cause to pause amid the busy scenes of life and makes us sad when we realize that life at best but a brief delight, a sun scarce brightening ere it sinks at night. Our sadness is intensified and our sorrows immeasurably increased when one of our associates, a brother beloved, is claimed by death and goes from us never to return.
          Joseph T. Ragan was born in Terrell County, Georgia, March 8, 1858, and continuously resided in this county until the date of his death at his home in Dawson June 12th, 1913. He is survived by a devoted wife, four splendid, manly sons and a sweet five-year-old daughter.
          Brother Ragan was a faithful and zealous member of this lodge, having been raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on the first day of December, 1902. He held a warm place in the hearts of his brethren of the Masonic fraternity, who attended his funeral and performed the last sad rites of this order at his grave.
          In view of the foregoing, therefore, be it resolved:
          First, that in the death of Brother Ragan, P. T. Schley Lodge has been deprived of one of its most devoted and exemplary members ad one who enjoyed the sincere esteem of his associates.
          Second, that the community has lost a useful and excellent citizen, one who could always be found on the side of right, and the Dawson Methodist Church has sustained the loss of a faithful and devoted member.
          Third, that a page in our minute book be dedicated to his memory, having inscribed thereon the date of his birth and death and when raised to the Master degree.
          Fourth, that these resolutions be recorded on our minutes, a copy be furnished the bereaved family of our deceased brother and a copy be furnished to the Masonic Herald and The Dawson News for publication.
          Respectfully submitted,
    J. G. Parks, Chairman
          A. J. Baldwin
          J. C. Hollingsworth.
