Mary Ann Eliza Towell (1836-1909)

Mary Ann Eliza Towell was born on September 8, 1836 in Dickson County, Tennessee.  She was the daughter of Samuel Towell and Nancy Leticia Adkins.  Mary Ann’s family moved to Johnson County, Arkansas around 1839.

Mary Ann married Dr. Adam Washington Weimer on November 19, 1856 in Johnson County, Arkansas.  She was 20 years old and he was 34 years.  Adam was born around 1822 in Pennsylvania. 

Adam and Mary Ann were the parents of five children:

Margaret Mary Weimer                    born 1858

Susannah Weimer                          born February 1860

Washington S.N. Weimer               born 1861

Sarah Elizabeth Weimer                born March 22, 1863

William Gideon Weimer                  born January 6, 1864

Three of their five children lived to reach adulthood.  Susannah died in March 1860, at just one month old; and Washington died in 1875, at the age of 14 years.

After their marriage, Adam and Mary Ann settled their family in Perry, Johnson County, Arkansas, where Adam worked as a physician. 

According to probate records in Johnson County, Arkansas, Dr. Adam Washington Weimer died on April 4, 1864 in Johnson County.  He was 42 years old at his death.  The following is a note about Adam:

“Adam W. Weimer, physician, born c. 1823 PA, died during Civil War near his home in Johnson Co., AR. (Certified on record by his wife and brother-in-law, though no death certificate or burial record exists.) He was (as the story goes) going to treat wounded soldiers and was accidentally shot as he approached. His son William G. Weimer said his father lived in Iowa before coming to Arkansas. The Iowa Weimers (Adam Wimer) fit this perfectly, and have a son Adam born 1832 in PA. However, that Adam appears to have gone to Oregon and lived well past 1864. I cannot connect this Dr. Adam W. Weimer to any family; perhaps another researcher will have something that does.”

On July 14, 1869, Mary Ann married Reverend George J. Bonds in Johnson County, Arkansas.  George, a widower, was born around 1832 in Tennessee, the son of Drewery Knight Bonds and Sarah Goodrich.

George died just four months later, on November 12, 1869 in Johnson County, Arkansas.  He was 37 years old at his death.

In 1870, Mary Ann was living with her children in Perry, Johnson County, Arkansas.  Mary Ann’s personal estate was valued at $300.

Mary Ann remarried again to Charles Haise Boggess, on March 30, 1876, in Johnson County, Arkansas.  He was 53 years old at that time and she was 39 years old.  Charles, a widower, was born on September 10, 1822 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, the son of Lemuel Boggess, Sr. and Rachel Oates. 

In 1880, Charles and Mary Ann were living and working on a farm in Illinois, Pope County, Arkansas.  Charles’ sons, Arthur and William, were living with them.  Mary Ann’s surviving children, Sarah and William Weimer, were living with their grandmother, Nancy Towell, in Pittsburg, Johnson County, Arkansas.

Charles and Mary Ann were living on a farm next to the family of Charles’ son, William and his family, in Pottsville, Pope County, Arkansas in 1900.  At that time, Charles’ profession was that of “Dry Foods and Gen. Merchant.”

Charles Haise Boggess died two months after his 83^rd birthday.  He died on November 23, 1905, in Pope County, Arkansas.  He was buried in the Pisgah Cemetery in Pottsville, Pope County, Arkansas.

Mary Ann died on August 18, 1909 in Pottsville, Pope County, Arkansas. She was buried in the Lamar Cemetery in Lamar, Johnson County, Arkansas.  She was just a few weeks shy of 73 years at her death.

Courier-Democrat dated 20 June 1918
PIONEER CITIZEN DEAD
Dr. L. T. Ragsdale, a pioneer citizen and large property holder in Russellville and Pope County, died at his home in this city Sunday morning after an illness of seven months, during most of the time he had been confined to his home. He had been slightly improved recently and had been able to come down town a few times, though due to his age, his family and friends had feared for some time that the end was near. Funeral services were conducted from the Central Presbyterian church Monday morning at 10 o’clock by the Rev. Wiley Lin Hurie, assisted by Rev. J. P. Snipes. The remains were laid to rest in Pisgah Cemetery near Pottsville, in the community where Mr. Ragsdale had practiced his profession for many years prior to moving to Russellville some eighteen years ago.

Dr. Ragsdale was a Confederate Veteran and was active in the reconstruction of this part of the country after the war. He had spent most of his life in this community and was widely known. He is survived by his aged wife and six children, all of whom live in Russellville and were present at the funeral except Robert A., who had but recently gone to Norfolk, Va., to enlist in the Marine corps. The other children are: E. H., Dr. Sid, postmaster Lewis Ragsdale, Wade, and Miss Allien.

To the bereaved family and many relatives we join a host of friends in extending condolence.

Aileen, widowed at the age of 69 years, went on to live almost 30 years after her husband’s death.  Isabella Aileen Boggess Ragsdale died on May 26, 1946 in Pope County, Arkansas.  She passed away twenty-five days after her 97^th birthday.
