Notes |
- Thomas Pringle, a native of Indiana, and Nancy (Welch) Pringle of West Virginia...married in Iowa, and soon thereafter located on government land in Keokuk county. Thomas Pringle assiduously applied himself to the further improvement and cultivation of his farm until 1874, when he sold it and came to Hamilton county. Here he purchased two hundred and forty acres of land located on section 3, Cass township, and continued his agricultural pursuits for nearly twenty years. About 1892, he sold his farm and retired from active life, having accumulated a competence that made it possible for him to spend his latter days in well earned ease. For about six years thereafter he mad his home in Webster City, but he subsequently removed to Toledo, this state, and there he passed away in the spring of 1905, at the venerable age of eighty-six years and eight months. He had long survived his mother, whose death occurred on the 5th of January, 1884, when she had reached the age of sixty years. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Pringle numbered fourteen, our subject being the eighty in order of birth. [TP 01.]
