DEATH OF CAPTAIN CRINGLE
The Aged Sailor Enters the Eternal Port

Captain Charles W. Cringle, father of Mrs. E.N. Conlee, died yesterday
afternoon at the residence of his daughter at the ripe old age of 82. The
cause of his death was general debility. He had been gradually failing for
several years. Deceased was a native of Birmingham, England, and in his
youger days was a seafaring man and at one time commanded a vessel from
which he gained his title of captain. His experience on the sea was filled
with many interesting and romantic incidents which, in his declining years,
he loved to recount to his friends and to the children who delighted to
listen to his stories of sea life and to carry away with them pictures of
ships he drew for them. After coming to this country Captain Cringle
engaged in the lumber trade at Belvedere, Ill., and for a number of years
carried on a large and successful business in that line. About fifteen
years ago, when advancing years began to toil upon his physical powers, he
and his wife come to Oshkosh and took up residence with their only
daughter, Mrs. Conlee, with whom they have lived with ever since lived.
Capt. Cringle was a Mason of high degree but on account of his advanced age
he did not associate himself with any of the local lodges since removing to
this city. The funeral will be held from the house on Church street at 1:30
o’clock Sunday.
