This morning about 6:15, in the Town of Herman, Dodge Co., after a lengthy illness, the old pioneer Carl Ringle was summoned to eternity, from this earthly life, at age 73 years. He was born October 30 1835 in Ingweiler, Rhinefalz, Germany; came to America with his parents in 1846 and lived a short time in New York City, Chicago, Milwaukee and Germantown, Washington Co.. In 1848 with his parents Mr. & Mrs. Bartholomaus Ringle, they came to the Town of Herman, Dodge Co., where at the time as a young man, he opened a general store, which is still in business today. In 1866 he was named as postmaster and retained that position until regular routes of mail delivery were established. From 1880 until 1900 he was the Secretary of the Herman Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co.; Township treasurer for nine years, Justice of the Peace for four years; two years the Town Clerk and many years the managing Supervisor. In 1858 he married Miss Johanna Erdmann who died December 5, 1875. Five sons were born to the union; Wilhelm, Robert and Ernst and the twins Hermann and Julius. In 1876 he married the widow Mrs. Wilhelmine Plock, a sister of his deceased wife. Mr. Ringle was always a faithful and convinced Democrat; he owned a lovely farm and leaves his family in good economic condition. The funeral will occur Monday afternoon, originating at the house of mourning, at 1 p.m., with Pastor Toepel officiating. He was an honorable man and always true to his word. Honor his memory.
