  Rachel Ringler, widow of the late Adam Ringler, died on Monday July 28, 1913, 
at 4:00 p. m. She was born December 25, 1846, and at the time of her death was 
aged 66 years, 7 months and 3 days. Her maiden name was Wagner, daughter of 
Peter and Rachel Wagner, and was married October 3, 1869, to Adam Ringler. To 
this union was born a family of eight children, all of whom survive to mourn her 
loss as follows: Mrs. Alice J. Leckemby, Gideon, Lloyd, Charles; Mrs. Missouri 
M. Atkinson, Mrs. Margaret E. Wiland and Miss Rachel I. all of Meyersdale, and 
Mrs. Edward Leckemby of Connellsville. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren. 
Mrs. Ringler was one of a family of thirteen children of whom seven are living, 
five sisters and two brothers namely: Mrs. Elizabeth Dively of Salisbury, Mrs. 
Edward Bloss of Seward, Westmoreland County; Mrs. Samuel Christner and Mrs. 
Henry Christner of Boynton, Mrs. Wm. Butman of Scalp Level, Dennis and Carr 
Wagner of Salisbury. Mrs. Ringler was confirmed in her early life into 
membership of the Reformed Church at Salisbury, by the Rev. A. B. Koplin, D. D. 
Later she held her membership in the Amity Reformed Church. On April 18, 1913, 
she received a stroke and from that time had been in feeble health, although 
there were no apparent signs of her early demise. On Sunday night her condition 
became worse and her strength failed her rapidly, until the end came on Monday 
afternoon. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the home of the 
deceased on Salisbury Street at 2:30 o'clock. The service was conducted by her 
pastor, Rev. Dr. Truxal. Interment took place in the Union Cemetery.
