Cairo Messenger, November 14, 1919
Mr. Alfred L. Ragans Goes To His Reward

Mr. Alfred L. Ragans, one of Grady's oldest and most highly respected citizens 
is no more.  This good gentleman passed to the great beyond, Wednesday 
afternoon, about three o'clock at the home of his son, Mr. W. P. Ragans, eight 
miles north of town, after an illness of two months or more.  Heart trouble was 
the direct cause of his demise.

Mr. Ragans was a veteran of the war between the states and was in his 89th 
year.  He was well liked by everyone who knew him and was known as an upright 
Christian gentleman, being a member of Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist 
church.  He had been a member of the church since early in life.

The deceased is survived by his devoted wife, three sons, Messrs. Wade, Andrew, 
and Jack Ragans, one brother, Mr. J. J. Ragans, all of this county and one 
sister, Mrs. Janie Collins of West Florida, besides numerous relatives and 
friends.

The remains were laid to rest at Pleasant Grove cemetery yesterday afternoon at 
three o'clock, the funeral being conducted at the church by Rev. J. P. Swann, 
and attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.  The 
Messenger extends condolence to the bereaved ones.
