OBITUARY: Natchitoches Enterprise [newspaper] February 1929.
Mrs. John Raggio. Truly the sudden death of this estimable lady is another illustration of "in the
midst of life we are in death," for she retired Friday night in the best of health and suddenly
Saturday morning she was stricken and died within less than an hour's time, internal hemorrhage
surperinduced from a coughing spell that burst a blood vessel causing death. The remains were
taken to Natchez, Mississippi, where she was born and lived until she married Mr. Raggio and
came to Natchitoches some 40-odd years ago, and interred in the family plot in one of the
historic old cemeteries of that city on Tuesday in the midst of many sympathizing friends.  Mrs.
Raggio, while a reserved homebody, was a beloved neighbor and friend and was haeld in
high esteem by all who knew her, and her tender ministrations to anyone in need of her services
will be sadly missed.  A husband, five sons, several grand-children, one sister [should read two
sister's], and other relatives will ever hold her in tender memory, to all of whom The Enterprise
extends sympathy.
