Obituary. 



Professor William H. Ragan. 



Prof. W. H. Ragan, Assistant Po- 

 mologist and Expert in Nomenclature, 

 Bureau of Plant Industry, Department 

 of Agriculture, passed away at the 

 Homeopathic Hospital in Washington, 

 D. C, Friday, August 6th at 4 p. m. 

 He was a prominent figure in Ameri- 

 can pomology and has for a number 

 of years held an important position 

 In the government service. He has 

 written many volumes on pomological 

 subjects and his reputation is world 

 wide. He was Secretary of the In- 

 diana Horticultural Society for nearly 

 forty years; he was superintendent of 

 Pomology at the Cotton Centennial at 

 New Orleans in 1884-5, and held the 

 position of secretary to the Mississippi 

 Valley Horticultural Society for some 

 years and was secretary of the Com- 

 mittee of Awards in the Department of 

 Horticulture at the Exposition in Chi- 

 cago, 1S92. For many years he has 

 been Chuirinan of the Revision of the 

 Catalogue of Fruits for the American 

 Pomological Society and has been a 

 lifelong member of that Society, doing 

 much for the cause of fruit growing 

 throughout the country, especially 

 pioneer work in the states beyond the 

 Mississippi river. He was born in 

 Putnam Co., Indiana, in 1836 and was 

 the son of the late Reuben Ragan, a 

 well-known pioneer pomologist of that 

 state. He is survived by his wife, 

 Mrs. Emily Sherwood Lee Ragan of 

 this city, and his two daughters, Mrs. 

 N. E. Woods, Clayton, Indiana and 

 Miss Belle Ragan of Chicago, Illinois. 



Mr. Ragan was secretary of the 

 Indiana State Board of Horticulture 

 for ten years and was later president 

 of that board. He was a trustee of 

 Purdue University for some years and 

 served one term in each branch of the 

 Indiana State Legislature, and though 

 in no sense a politician, he did this 

 at the unanimous demand of his con- 

 stituents. 



He was a man of sterling worth, 

 ready wit, keen insight, and his ver- 

 satility on pomological subjects has 

 rarely been equalled. His death is an 

 irreparable loss to the cause of po- 

 mology the world over. 



Mr. Ragan was a cousin of the late 

 John Clark Ridpath, the well known 

 historian.
