Pringle, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of Story count, residing in Collins township, died Tuesday, Jan. 9th, from an attack of la grippe which developed into a severe form. Mr. Pringle was a kid, genial man and has lived in this part of the state since 1866, moving here from near Barkshire, Jones county. He was born in Delaware county, Ohio, but was a man thoroughly attached to Iowa and her welfare. His demise is a great loss to the community where he resided. Rev. A. L.

The remains were laid to rest in the Collins cemetery.”
