"UNCLE" Philip PRINGEY DEAD
Dies Suddenly at Home in Cumberland
Sunday Evening about Nine
O'clock. Death Caused by a
Paralytic Stroke
CUMBERLAND, Sept. 3—The citizens of Cumberland and vicinity were greatly saddened when the word was passed around early Monday morning that "Uncle" Philip Pringey had died suddenly at his home at about nine o'clock Sunday evening.
About a year ago Uncle Philip had a partial paralytic stroke from which he recovered very nicely and showed no very serious effects from his illness. So far as known he was feeling as well as usual for a man of his age on Sunday. In the morning he attended services at the Methodist church, there being no services at his own church, and after Rev. Breeling had finished his discourse Uncle Philip went forward and congratulated the Rev. on the excellency of the sermon and told him how much he had enjoyed it. He was around as usual during the afternoon and seemed to he in good healthand spirits. He retired for the night at about 8:16. Mrs. Pringey was not ready to retire at the time and remained up for sometime. When she got ready to retire at about 9 o'clock or a little after, she went to the bed room and before getting in bed spoke to Mr. Pringey but he did not answer and she touched him arid noticed at once that something was wrong. She called her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Conine, who live close to them, and they at once sent for Dr. Barnett, not realizing that Mr. Pringey had passed to the great beyond. Dr. Barnet said that Mr. Pringey had no doubt passed away after falling to sleep, as not a sound was heard from the bed room where he had retired.
Philip Pringey was born in Summer (sic, Somerset) Co., Pa., December 17, 1834, and died at his home in Cumberland, Ia., Sunday evening August 29th, 1916, aged 80 years, 8 months and 12 days. The early days of his life were spent in Pennsylvania, later moving to West Virginia, where he was married in Braxton (sic, Preston) county to Sarah M. Wheeler October 7, 1858. He resided in West Virginia until 1867, when with his family he became a resident of Muscatine county, Iowa. In 1884 deceased with his family moved to Cass county and took up their residence on a farm southwest of Cumberland, where he resided for a number of years, until he became a resident of Cumberland. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Pringey, two of them Judson S. and Ross W., having died in young manhood. The children who remain to comfort the aged mother in this hour of sorrow are Edward, Mrs. Mattie J. Conine, and Mrs. Mary M. Howthll (sic, Howell) of Cumberland, and Bruce F., of Adel, Iowa. Besides the wife and children who are left to mourn his loss he leaves two brothers John and Herman of this city and two sisters, Mrs. Candace Liston of Cumberland, and Mrs. J. T. Martin, of Ponca City, Okla., all of whom were present at the funeral. In early life Mr. Pringey became a member of the Baptist church and continued an active member of that organization up to the time of his death.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Breeling, pastor of the M. E. church, assisted by Eld. Corbitt of the Christian church. The floral offerings by relatives and friends were many and beautiful. The remains were laid at rest in Newlon's Grove cemetery, near which place he had spent so many happy days of his life.
