T.F. Ragland (November 30, 1842-September 19, 1863)
T.F. Ragland was a Lieutenant in Company L, 9th Tennessee
Infantry, organized at Dancyville, March 1862,
and mustered in at Cornith, Mississippi.T.F. was Killed at the battle of Chickamauga.
He is probably the only Civil War death casualty buried in
Dancyville United Methodist Cemetery.
His father sent his man servant for the body to be returned for burial in the home
cemetery. We are sure most folks
know it was normal for CSA veterans to be buried where the battle occurred, often in
mass graves, presuming
they were buried at all.
