SAMUEL RININGER DEAD.

  Samuel R. Rininger, one of the oldest and most respected of Blair county's 
agriculturists, died at his country home near Pinecroft, Antis township, 
Saturday morning at 2 o'clock, his death being due to a complication of 
diseases from which he had been a sufferer for some years.  Mr. Rininger was 
a native of Somerset county, where he was born on March 20, 1845, being a son 
of Frederick and Sarah Rininger, both deceased.  While a youth he learned the 
milling trade, and up to 1879 conducted a flouring mill at Williamsburg.  In 
that year Mr. Rininger removed to Antis township and assumed charge of the 
farming interests of the late Justice John Dean, which he conducted for a 
period of twenty-six years.  In 1905 he retired from the pursuits of the farm 
and had since been living in retirement on his plantation near Pinecroft.
  He is survived by his widow, Elizabeth Rininger, and the following 
children:  Mrs. J. Rice, of Bellwood; Mrs. M. S. Goss, of Martinsburg; Mrs. 
O. W. Haggerty, Mrs. W. F. Hutchinson, and J. E. Rininger, all of Altoona; 
Mrs. Marietta Dilling and Mrs. V. W. Briggs at home.  The funeral took place 
on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, interment in Logan Valley cemetery, 
Bellwood.  Mr. Rininger was the owner of the Smith farm at Diehl's station 
occupied by M. S. Goss.
