CHARLES DARRAGH
In the passing of the pioneer settlers, Indiana is losing a wealth of valuable information concerning early times and conditions, which will ever remain a sealed book. No information is so authentic as that which comes direct from the lips of those who have been living witnesses to the changes which have taken place in this fair state. They have seen the forests disappear, in order that cities might be built up to accommodate the growing demand for commercial interests, and could relate volumes of interesting incidents that have taken place during their lifetime.
Charles B. Darragh, the subject of this sketch, was born at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, February 11, 1837. He was a son of Charles and Sarah (Bouie) Darragh, the father being a native of Pennsylvania, and the mother of North Carolina. They were early settlers in Lawrenceburg, where they remained until the time of their death, he at the age of fifty-one and she at the age of sixty-two years. He ran several drays, and was also wharf-master at one time. They were the parents of five children: Catharine, who was the wife of John Edwards; Margaret, who was the wife of Gilbert Fisher; Charles B., Gillett, and Ann, who died single.
Charles B. Darragh lived in his home town all his life, except the time he spent in the army. His education was obtained at the select and public schools. In young manhood he was a teamster, and on August 2, 1862, he enlisted in Company E, sixty-eighth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served until the close of the Civil War. His brother, Gillett, was also a soldier all through the war, and was in AndersonvilIe and Libby prisons for eighteen months. After the war, Charles B. Darragh returned home, where he learned the trade of wool-dyer, and worked in the woolen-mill at Lawrenceburg until it went out of business. He then entered the employ of G. Y. Root's flour milling company, where he remained until they went into bankruptcy, after which he worked for the Lawrenceburg Roller Mills Company as grain inspector, until the time of his death-altogether in both companies thirty-two years.

Mr. Darragh belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic and to the Knights of Pythias. Politically, he was originally a Whig, and after that a Repubican. He died on August 15, 1907, aged seventy years, and was a member of the Methodist church. His wife survives him and is a member of the same church.
On the 23rd day of October, 1859, Charles B. Darragh was united in marriage with.Sarah Jane Liddle, who was born in Miller township, Dearborn county, Indiana, about three miles above Guilford, October .21, 1841, a daughter of Stephen and Elizabeth (.Smith) Liddle. Her father was born in Miller township in 1819, and died at the age of sixty-eight. Her mother came from Yorkshire, England, when eight years old. and died at the age of fifty-seven years. Stephen and Elizabeth (Smith) Liddle were the parents of ten children, who grew to maturity: Sarah Jane, Mary Ann, James Thompson, Isaac Henry, Ellen Elizabeth, Caroline, Josephine, Edward, Charles B. and Thomas.
Mrs. Sarah Jane Darragh has lived all her life in Dearborn county, the most of which has been spent in Lawrenceburg, and has seen the most of the development of the county. She is a woman of refinement and great piersonal worth, and is greatly beloved for her fine womanly graces. She possesses the faculty of associating incidents and dales with an aptness and accuracy that are indeed marvelous. She used to know all the old settlers in Lawrenceburg and vicinity, and still has a large acquaintance in that community. She belongs to that class of "old school" ladies who have made tiie world, better by their having lived in it.
To Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Darragh were born five children. Katie Belle, Jeannette Mae, and three who died in infancy. Katie Belle became the wife of Marion R. Cole, and died on January 19, 1911, leaving one son, Charles F. Jeanette Mae was united in marriage to Edwin J. Evans. They reside at Lawrenceburg. and have had four children. Edwin Paul, who died aged one year, those now living are Ruth Mae, Esther Lee and Donald Darragh.
The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Sarah Jane Darragh was Stephen Liddle, one of the first local preachers in the Methodist church in Miller township. His wife was Sarah (Thompson) Liddle. They came from Yorkshire, England, and died in Dearborn county. They now lie buried in Greendale cemetery. The maternal grandfather of Mrs. Darragh was James Smith, who was married to Jane Langdale. They were both born in Yorkshire. England, and were also pioneers in Dearborn county. They came to America in a sailing vessel, and for six weeks did not see land. They moved to Canada and remained there a number of years, after which they removed to Winnebago, Illinois, where they both died and were buried.
Charles F. Cole, grandson of Charles B. Darragh, was born on April 16, 1891, at Lawrenceburg, where he attended the public schools, and now has a position as clerk in the Lawrenceburg postoffice. He lived with his grandmother, to whom he is devoted, and with whom he has spent the most of his life. He is a member of the Methodist church.⁴

In Memory of Mrs. Kate Darragh Cole, Who Fell Asleep Jan. 19,
Death has visited our missionary society and one of our number has been called from the cares, the joys and the sorrows of earthly life.

On the afternoon of Jan. 19, Mrs. Kate Darragh Cole passed peacefully away. For many years she as a faithful member of the member of the Women's Foreign Missionary society. Her delicate health would not always permit her to be in attendance at the meetings, but she was always interested and in touch with the work, aiding in every way that she could.

We shall miss her. Her work on earth is ended, yet her goodly influence has had its effect, and her quiet and unobtrusive manner, her delicate sense of propriety, her beautiful faith in Christ, all have had a refining influence upon thos (sic) with whom she came in contact. Her kindness was of that merciful kind that if she could not praise she would not injure in word the character of anyone.

We will cherish the memory of our dear departed sister and we tender the bereaved family our sincere sympathy. We kindly remember them, especially for her sake,

"Only a river between us,
Parting our dear ones awhile,
Only a veil that divides us,
Hiding the light of their smile,
Only a sigh and a struggle,
Only a moment of pain,
Then mid the splendors of Eden
We shall behold them again."
