City Attorney C. O. Pingry this morning received word of the death of his father, Rev. Thomas Pingry, in Baldwin last night. Mr. Pingry and his family will go to Baldwin tomorrow to attend the funeral, which will be held Monday. Mr. Pingry had no intimation that his father was seriously ill. Sometime over a month ago, Rev. Pingry suffered a fracture to his arm while cranking a motor car but Mr. Pingry is not advised whether this injury brought about the sickness which resulted in death. Rev. Pingry was 70 years old.
Rev. Thomas Pingry was an active minister in the Methodist church for 35 years in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, having retired only a year ago and moved to Baldwin to make his home so his youngest daughter could attend school there. His last pastorate was in Oklahoma City...He was well known throughout south-eastern Kansas, as a preacher and speaker along patriotic lines. Himself a veteran he was in demand as a speaker at old soldiers reunions and other patriotic events.
Thomas Pigney was born January 26,1848, near Portland, Jay co., Indiana, and reared to manhood there; during the Civil War, he enlisted, at the age of 15 years, and served, Co. B, 11th Indiana Cavalry, until the end of the war. Soon after the war he went to Missouri and was there married, in 1873, to Amanda Ellen Short, b 1851 in Appleton City, Missouri. About 1880 at age 32, he entered the ministry. In 1888 he came to Kansas, living in Baldwin, while pastor of the church at Humboldt. His first wife died in 1898 at Louisiana, Pike county, Missouri, and 1900 he married Margaret Jackson, b. 1864, Illinois.
