THERON L. RAGSDALE.
Theron L. Ragsdale is now living retired in Boise, where he took up his home in 1917, after having been actively identified with ranching in other parts of the state for a number of years. He is a native son of Missouri, having been born near Lancaster, that state, on the 27th of April, 1855, his parents being James Fowler and Mary Ann (Bell) Ragsdale, both of whom passed away in Jackson county, Oregon. The father, who was of Scotch descent, was born in Texas, to which state his father, William B. Ragsdale, had removed from Tennessee. James F. Ragsdale was born in 1824 and was therefore sixty-five years of age when death called him in Jackson county, Oregon, in 1889. His wife was born in Virginia in 1824 and departed this life in Jackson county, Oregon, in 1885. She was of Scotch and German lineage.
Their son, Theron L. Ragsdale, removed to California with his parents in 1859. He was reared in that state and there on the 8th of November, 1877, he married Ida Goodrich, who was born at Niles, Michigan, a daughter of Hiram and Marietta (Sackett) Goodrich, both of whom have passed away. Mrs. Ragsdale accompanied her parents to California in her infancy and was there reared. Two years after their marriage, or in 1879, they removed from California to Pendleton, Oregon, and resided upon a ranch in Umatilla county for seven years. Subsequently they made their home in the state of Washington for twenty-four years and thence came to Idaho in 1911. While in Washington they lived at College Place, near Walla Walla, for sixteen years in order that their children might attend the Adventist college there. Mr. Ragsdale has followed ranching throughout his entire active business life, conducting extensive agricultural interests in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. As the years have passed he has prospered and is today one of the men of affluence in Boise. He has owned some large ranch properties in the northwest and his landed possessions still include a ranch of twenty-two hundred acres in the Wood River valley of Idaho property that is perhaps worth one hundred thousand dollars or more. In 1917 Mr. Ragsdale retired from active ranch work and took up his abode in Boise, where he has since lived, securing his present home property at No. 200 Broad street in the fall of 1919. Since becoming a resident of the capital city he has made large investment in valuable realty here and both his ranch and city properties return to him a good income.
To Mr. and Mrs. Ragsdale have been born five children, four sons and a daughter, and one son has passed away. The four living children are: Robert T., who was born September 11, 1880; L. B., whose birth occurred April 24, 1882; James Roe, whose natal day was December 1, 1884; and Effa M., who was born on the 29th of October, 1888. All are married and Robert and James live in Idaho. The eldest son is a nurse of wide experience, having studied for the profession in hospitals of Chicago and New York city. L. B. Ragsdale has become a minister of the Adventist church in Arizona, while the only daughter, Effa M., is now the wife of the Rev. William Ammundsen, an Adventist minister. They are now in the Philippine Islands, doing missionary work for their church.
Mr. Ragsdale was reared in the Methodist church and his wife in the Presbyterian church, but for forty-two years they have been consistent, faithful and prominent members of the Adventist church. Mr. Ragsdale has been one of the church elders for many years and is one of the most earnest workers and liberal supporters of the church in Boise, having contributed very largely to the erection of the church edifice at the corner of Sixth and Main streets. He has always been a man of kindly and benevolent spirit and he and his wife have assisted thirty children to obtain an education aside from their own family, realizing that in giving them opportunities for intellectual progress they were bestowing upon them a gift which nothing could take
from them. Mr. Ragsdule is entitled to membership with the Sons of the American Revolution, for his great-great-grandfather was a Revolutionary soldier who served as a member of Washington's bodyguard. Mr. Ragsdale deserves much credit for what he has accomplished as the years have passed by, for his success is the direct and legitimate reward of his enterprise and diligence. He has largely placed his funds in the safest of all investments real estate and his industry and progressive spirit have constituted the sure and stable foundation upon which he has builded his prosperity. His path has never been strewn by the wreck of other men's failures and as a ranchman he has contributed in large measure to the development of the northwest through the utilization of its natural resources.
