  Henry A. Ring was educated in the common schools and the high school

mended by his physician to try the climate of California and, accordingly, set
out for the Golden State, of which he was a resident subsequently for
eighteen years, working mostly in the silver mines. For a while he was busi-
nes" partner with a Mr. John Howard, a miner. At the end of the period
above mentioned he returned east and took up farming in North Hampton,
in which occupation he continued until his retirement. His death took place
inin 1897.
  In 1875 Mr. Ring married Clara A. Bachelder, who was born in North
Hampton, N. H., daughter of Levi and Clarissa (Marston) Bachelder. Mrs.
Ring's father settled in this town when it consisted almost entirely of woods.
He cleared and cultivated a farm, became a very prominent citizen and at
the time of his death was well to do. He and his wife were affiliated with
the Congregational Church; Both are now deceased and are buried in North
Hampton. They had three children: George, deceased; Charles, and Clara A.
Mr and Mrs. Ring were the parents of a daughter, Grace B., who resides
with her mother. She is a graduate of Hampton Academy and is much inter-
ested in church work, she and her mother being members of the Congrega-
tional church. Mr. Ring was a Republican in politics and, like his wife and
daughter, was also an earnest church worker.
