MARY E. TRAGO, Tiro; was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, in 1843. Her first husband was Wesley Dull. and by him
she had two children, Malin M., born in 1867, and one, E. W., who died in infancy. Mr. Dull departed this life Jan.
23, 1867. Mrs. Dull remarried May 5, 1870, her second husband being Vincent T. Trago. She bore Mr. Trago two
sons: Marion W., born April 9, 1872, and Harry D.. born Aug. 9, 1875. Mr. Trago was First Lieutenant in the late
war, and was in some of the most hotly contested battles. A few of the principal engagements he was in are Shiloh,
Corinth, Chickamauga, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, Nashville, Columbia and others. It is said
of him that he was a brave and kind officer, and a splendid soldier. During the spring of 1880, he was stricken down
with disease, and he died the death of a Christian, April 14 of the same year. His death was greatly deplored by his
friends and neighbors, and especially by his devoted wife. Mrs. Trago lives on the place, 160 acres, left by him.
