MRS. ISAAC PRINGLE
Brief mention already has been made in these columns of the death of Sarah, wife of Isaac Pringle, at her home in Summerhill Township Sunday evening, September 8, 1901, of paralysis, with which she was stricken on May 26, 1892.
Mrs. Pringle's maiden name was Sarah Wonders. She was born near Schellsburg, Bedford County, April 4, 1826. She is survived by her husband and four children -- D. L. Pringle, of Pitcairn; Jennie, wife of J. F. Barnes, of Waterford, Erie County, and Maggie and Sadie, at home. Mrs. Julia Dunmire, of the Seventeenth Ward; Mrs. H. S. Miller, of Helixville, Pa., and Mr. Jacob Wonders, of Croyle Township, are sisters and brother of Mrs. Pringle.
During her long illness, Mrs. Pringle had the constant attention and care of her daughters -- Misses Maggie and Sadie -- as well as the tender sympathy and solicitude of her husband and other children. About two weeks ago she was stricken with her last illness and calmly passed away at the time stated.
The funeral which took place Wednesday afternoon, after services in the Evangelical Church on Pringle Hill, conducted by the Rev. D. S. Poling, of South Fork, assisted by the Revs. A. Davison, of Wilmore, and G. K. Allen of Summerhill, was well attended. It was a large assemblage of people of all religious denominations and was an eloquent tribute to the memory of one who was universally esteemed in her neighborhood as a faithful Christian wife, mother, and friend. Interment was made in the cemetery near the church. |
