daughter of Clark Brown & Tabitha Moffatt
married Virgil Kellogg Pringle, May 4, 1827
In South Salem, May 23, 1891, Pherne T. Pringle, aged 86 years, and three months. Pherne T. Pringle who died at her home in South Salem May 23d, 1891, was the daughter of Clark Brown, a prominent Episcopal minister in Virginia and Maryland in the early part of the present century. Her father died at Mount Vernon while she was quite young. Her mother, Tabitha Brown, came to Oregon with her daughter and family and was the true founder of the school now known as the "Pacific University" of Forest Grove, having started it with twelve girls, not only giving them literary instructions but also teaching needlework and housework.
Mrs. Pringle was born in Montpelier, Vermont, in 1805, but at an early age, with her parents moved to Maryland where she resided until her father's death in 1824. Then in company with her mother removed to Warren county, Missouri, where she was united in marriage with Virgil K. Pringle.
She with her husband continued to reside in the latter state until March, 1846, when with their family of six children they crossed the plains in the then almost universal way, with ox teams, arriving in Salem, Oregon, on Christmas day of that year, having been nine months on the journey, since which time she has been a constant resident of Marion county, always taking a prominent part in both the religious and social society which she had come to help develop and reside in during the remainder of her life.
Upon her arrival in Oregon there was no organization of the Episcopal church and she then united herself with the Methodist Episcopal church in which she remained an earnest and constant member up to the time of her death. Being a woman of strong individuality she impressed her life and character upon all with whom she came in contact.
Her partner in life, Virgil K. Pringle, after having passed sixty years of happy wedded life preceded her four years "to that borne from which no traveler returns." There were born to them eight children four of whom still survive. Mrs. John Hughes and Mrs. C. D. Young, of Salem; Clark Pringle and Octavins Pringle, of Prineville, Oregon, who shall they continue to live her life and die her death, will merit too as she has done the good will of all with whom they came in contact. The funeral will take place today at 2 o'clock p.m., from the family residence in South Salem on High street.
