VICTORIA RARDIN

  Victoria Ringer, oldest daughter of Abraham and Lydia Ringer, was born May 27, 
1871, near Salisbury, Somerset County, Pa., where she lived until she with her 
parents moved to Mitchell County, Kansas, in the spring of 1886.  She was united 
in marriage to F. L. Rardin on March 25, 1902, at Beloit, Kansas.  They 
immediately began housekeeping in Scottsville, Kansas, where they resided 
continuously until her death on Saturday, May 16, 1931.  She had been under 
medical treatment for four years, but had been able to attend to her usual 
duties until a few weeks ago when she became seriously ill and passed away 
within a fortnight after taking to her bed.
  She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, three sisters and one brother: Mrs. 
Minnie Motes, of Beloit, Mrs. Emma Motes, Mrs. Mary Abernathy and Lloyd Ringer, 
of Scottsville; three nephews, one niece, other relatives and a host of friends.
  Mrs. Rardin united with the Lutheran Church in childhood and was an active 
worker in the Presbyterian Church and Sunday School of Scottsville.  She was 
secretary-treasurer of the Friendship Sunday school class since its organization 
in 1902, faithfully performing the duties of that office till the last.  She was 
a member of Rebekah Lodge, No. 58, Beloit.
  Mrs. Rardin was a loving wife and sister whose chief interest was her home, 
and the betterment of her community.  She lived her life well and carried the 
highest respect of the community in general and the love of those who knew her 
best.  Her passing brings sorrow to a host of relatives and friends who find 
solace in the knowledge that she has gone to a rest and reward in keeping with 
the fine life she lived on earth.
  Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. R. Jones, Monday afternoon, in the 
Presbyterian church.  Interment in the Scottsville Cemetery.
