Robert Pringle
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913

Robert Pringle, now living retired at Wheatfield Ranch, 
fourteen miles from Globe, is one of the early settlers 
in this locality, his residence here dating from 1882. 
He was born in Dalry, Ayrshire Scotland in 1848 and is a 
son of Andrew Pringle, who lived and died in that country.  
In his family were four sons, two of whom have passed away.  
All grew to maturity, three coming to America and one 
continuing to reside in Ayrshire.

Robert Pringle remained in Scotland until he was twenty 
years of age, acquiring his education in the public schools.  
In 1868 he crossed the Atlantic and on his arrival in this 
country went immediately to Rockford Illinois, whence two 
years later he removed to Neodesha Kansas where he helped to 
survey the old Osage reservation.  When that work was 
completed he removed to Woodson County, locating near 
Humboldt, where he turned his attention to farming, 
operating a productive property in that section for 
six years.  In the spring of 1882 he came to Arizona, 
riding in a stagecoach from Casa Grande to the Silver 
King Mine and thence on mule back into Globe.  He 
pushed on fourteen miles northwest of the city and 
there purchased eighty acres of land to which he has 
added from time to time being now the owner of one 
hundred and thirty five acres all well irrigated and 
in a high state of cultivation.  The property is now 
rented to gardeners and brings Mr. Pringle a large 
annual income upon which he has retired from active 
business life.

In 1902 Mr. Pringle married Miss Anna R. Edwards, a native 
of Philadelphia.  Her father died in that state but her 
mother is still living at the age of seventy five, making 
her home with the subject of this review.  Mrs. Pringle 
acquired her education in her native state and previous 
to her marriage engaged in teaching.  She and her husband 
have a son, Andrew Love, born in 1903 and hwo is now 
attending school.
