Hunter Wim Wimberly and I could name a good many more But those were the hardest sinners that we got and I expect that you will be glad to hear that they are a trying .

"OBITUARY. For the "Rural Times".

      Died February 12th at 9 o’clock p.m. at the residence of J.B. Bryan, her son, Mrs. E. S. Bryan, aged 78 years.

      The subject of this memoriam was born in North Carolina and moved to Georgia at an early date, and from there to Bienville Parish, La., where she has been all the while doing all she could in behalf of Christ. She has been a member of the M. E. Church for may years. She was kind and lenient to all; did all she could both by words and actions, for those whom she thought loved Jesus. She was confined in bed nine weeks, during which time she had all the attention and all that human hands and hearts could contribute. She loved God and all his people and had unlimited faith in Jesus. She suffered very much at times, while at others was easy. She had been in delicate health for several years, but by the kind care of her family, she survived until the 12th of February 1877, when the lamp of existence went out. On the following morning we saw the cold form as it lay in the arms of death, a large family and a large circle of friends to morn her loss. She was buried at the Bryan grave yard at Liberty Chapel Church, were, after the burial services, we heard the heavy sound of sod die out as though at a distance, and the sobs of the family and friends as they gave her a fare well adieu.

      She is gone, gone! Gone to that fairer and better land where there is not more sickness, sorrow nor pain.

      OBITUARY FROM CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE NEW ORLEANS, LA.
      MOTHER ELIZABETH SPAN REGAN died at the residence of her son, Joseph Bryan in Bienville Parish, La., on the twelfth of February 1877. Mother Bryan, the daughter of Joseph and Doratha Regan, was born near Lumberton, Robinson County, N. C., October 29, 1874. She was converted in early life, and attached herself to the Methodist Church; was married to Joseph Regan November 11, 1814, moved to Gregg County, Ga. where she was left a widow with to sons; Sept 11, 1821, she married Redric Bryan, who also had two sons. From Houston County, Ga., they moved to Louisiana and settled in Claiborn parish, where they lived happily and usefully together, aiding in the support of the gospel, the building up of society and sustaining camp meetings, until the twelfth of January, 1864, at which time she was again left a widow. She still considered it her duty to do what she could in the Master's kingdom, and though the field of her usefulness was chiefly confined to her own large family, she wielded an influence for good which will be felt through time, the extent of which eternity alone can reveal.
      Her house was the preacher's house, where they always received an old fashioned Methodist welcome. Being the daughter of a Methodist preacher, she both reverenced and loved the men of God. It was a source of evident gratification that she once entertained Bishop Morris on one of his overland trips to Texas. During her last illness she requested her friends not to pray that her life might be prolonged, but that her end might be peaceful. Rarely has a family of children, themselves the heads of families, been blessed with the privilege of witnessing such a manifestation of the power of Christ to
save.
      Called together on the saddest occasion that ever congregates a family (to witness a mother's death,) they saw how perfectly the grace of God could enable the true believer to triumph over physical suffering, and received her godly admonitions and prayers of faith. For nine long weeks she seemed to exist in two worlds. Hope ever brightening, she was eager to depart and be with Christ. She called her children, one by one, and requested them to say they would meet her in heaven, and exhorted them not to make a promise, merely to gratify a dying mother, but to weigh well their words. Her mission on earth ended, the remainder of her days were spent in prayer and praise.

      Tribute of Respect.
      At a regular meeting of Liberty Chapel Grange [Farmers' organization] No. 111 P. of H. [The Patrons of Husbandry] held June 9th A.D. 1877 the following resolutions on the death of our worthy and esteemed sister Elizabeth S. Bryan were adopted.
      Whereas our Heavenly Master has in his wisdom seen fit to remove from our midst, after a painful illness of nine weeks, (one of our Charter members) our esteemed and beloved sister, Elizabeth S. Bryan.
      During the time that she was a member of Liberty Chapel Grange, her seat was never vacant at the Grange Hall unless detained by the infirmities of age. She took great interest in the principles of this order, but disease at last fastened its deadly grasp upon her vital frame. With calmness and strong faith in CHRIST she breathed her last, Feb. 12th, 1877 being 78 years, 3 months and 17 days of age.
      Mother Bryan adorned her Christian profession, being an old fashion Methodist, raised by a Methodist preacher, she could be none other than a true exemplar of Christianity. She loved all the institutions of the church, and did all she could in her quiet
way to advance the cause of Christ.
      But Mother Bryan has gone, and is now enjoying the society of angels and spirits of the just. We will hear her voice no more on earth giving counsel and advice to old and young alike. And we mourn and sympathize with the bereaved relations and friends not
as those who have no hope, for we know that our Mother will rise again at the last day.
      Therefore,
      Resolved, That in the death of Sister Bryan this Grange has lost a worthy and esteemed member; society a shining light, and her family a loss that cannot be replaced.
      Resolved, That the members of this Grange wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
      Resolved, That these Resolutions be apread [read, recorded?] upon the Minutes of this Grange, and a copy be furnished the relatives of the deceased, and a copy to the Rural Times for publication.
      Committee,

OBITUARIES

Died at his residence, on the 12th , near Ringgold, Bienville Parish, La., Mr. Reddick Bryan It is painful indeed to record the death on one whom we have known so long and who was bound to us by the strongest ties of friendship’s affection-
painful to know that one has gone who has been with us so long. By this community he will be sadly missed and the announcement of his death will send an anguish to the hearts of all who knew him. To his Christian Friends and Brethren, a light has gone out that will never (on this earth) glow again, a pillar is broken and crushed that will never be replaced. But we should be resigned to know and consider that Death is an instructive mentor as well as a mournful messenger; that the grave is the common lot of all, the great leveler of all distinctions. But at the same time we are taught, in one sense the good and great can never die for the memory of their virtues and bright example will live through all coming time into an immortality that blooms beyond the grave. The consolation of this thought should calm our sorrows and cause us to exclaim, in the language of a poet,

"Why weep ye, then, for him who having run
The bounds of man’s appointed years at last,
Life’s blessing all enjoyed, life’s labors done,
Serenely to his final rest has passed?"

The object of this notice has long enjoyed the blessings of religion. For more than forty years he has been a strict and useful member of the Methodist church. Possessing all the attributes of a Christian Man, he was a kind and affectionate husband, and indulgent parent; out words his servants displayed their attachment to him in tears of anguish over his grave. For several months his health was bad, and he often spoke of death, but calmly, as if he would be ready to obey the summons when it pleased God to call him. Let this thought comfort her, the partner of his bosom, whose heart is now crushed and bleeding. Let her feel that it is good in the sight of God for this affliction to come on her, for by the power of Christ’s resurrection we joyfully anticipate the prospect of seeing that broken staff erect and that beautiful rod clothed with celestial grace and blossoming in undying life in the paradise of God.

My latest sun is sinking fast my race is almost run my. My strongest trials now is past my triumh is begun. I soon Shall meet the holy ranks of friends and kindreds dear. I brush the dews of Jordans banks the crossing must be near. I am only six years younger than my departed sister therefore it behoves me to try my best to be ready even if I should stay as long as she did which I very much doubt for we know not the day nor hour when our blessed Saviour say come up .

I saw a lad last November from La. Bienville Parish he said he knew the Bryans his name is Laster he said Terrell Bryan had sold out and was coming to Texas and would call on his father when he got here. I left word with him for Terrell to come and see me before he settled but he never came therefore I suspected he has not come to Texas my reason for wishing to see before he settled was this I wanted him to come and look at Kimbel County he might like it then I would have some of my kinsfolks for neighbors did move away from there or not please write and let me know how all of your brothers and sisters are. Is any of them living near you if so give my best love and kindest regards I hope they are all doing well may the Lord proper them all I should be happy to get a letter from any one of them I have the company of two of my sons up here in this wild country Eli and Daniel Eli and wife they have no children.

     W. McKee Evans, To Die Game, Baton Rouge, Louisiana State University Press, 1971. The book states the following: Page 58. Reuben King, who at this time may have been the wealthiest person in the county, also occupied an influential position. He was Sheriff and, although he had no sons, a son-in-law, William Ive Brown, [married to which daughter?] was constable, and another, Albert Moody, [married to which daughter?] held various county posts. Page 176. Albert Mus county posts. Page 176. Albert Moody was from a family that was important in the political life of neighboring Marion County, SC. Moody's marriage, however, had made him a substantial figure in Robeson as well. He married the daughter of High Sheriff Reuben King, who may have been the wealthiest man in the county. Following the assassination of King by the Lowerys in 1869, the High Sheriff's fortune was divided between the families of his two daughters, his only children [this does not match the 1850 Census], of which the Moodys received roughly half. The Moodys lived at the mineral water resort Red Springs... Page 108 - 109. To the most prominent and the best educated people in the county there was now, and for almost two decades had been, but one High Sheriff of Robeson; and he was the old gentleman, who on this chill January evening, now entered the living room of his plantation big house. A neighbor had dropped in for a visit. The two gentlemen relaxed before a comfortable fire and after a few moments King opened his newspaper to an account of a recent Baptist convention. But suddenly something made him look up from his paper: before him stood Henry Berry Lowry, who six weeks ago, almost to the hour, had walked out of the Lumberton jail. Lowery said that he had come for "his gold and silver." The old sheriff leaped from his chair and made a lunge for the armed Indian, whom he must have known was reputed to be the most expert gunman in the county. A bullet cut him down, mortally wounded ..... The Lowrys ransacked the plantation for valuables.

"... Ephraim Hester was a son of Thomas and Martha Hester, both of whom lived and died in North Carolina, and he was born in that state August 15, 1813, and was left an orphan at an early age and his education in consequence was somewhat limited. He removed with his mother to Rankin county about 1841, and in 1844 removed to Copiah county, where he met and married Miss Mary A. Price, a native of Copiah county and who was born in 1827. She was a daughter of Charles and Isabel (Bufkin) Price. Her parents were natives of South Carolina, who removed to Mississippi about 1820. Ephraim Hester reared four children, named Martha A., the wife of L.Q. Wright, of Copiah county, John T., our subject; Isabel, educated at Hillman college, the wife of Robert O'Quinn of Copiah county, and Sallie E., educated at Hillman college, who is unmarried and lives at home. The father was a lifelong planter, and he and his wife were members of the Baptist church. He died February 4, 1875, and his widow still survives him, living on the old homestead." This account was published in 1891, Memoirs of Mississippi. If accurate, it indicates that Martha Hester returned to North Carolina before her death.

      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."
