JOHN F. RINGLE – One of the valuable farms of Cherry township is owned and operated by John F. Ringle of this review. It lies less than three miles from the city of Cherryvale and is, in appearance and productiveness, a resultant from the efforts of its dual owners, John F. and Charlotte Ringle. These worthy settlers came to Montgomery county in 1878, and purchased a farm, paying out nearly all their means for a title to the land. In their circumstances it required some ingenuity to keep their little craft afloat, but the combined efforts of husband and wife weathered the storms of drouth and flood and chinch bugs and accomplished the task of improving their home. This is the farm they have passed twenty-five years of their life on, and it is one of the desirable and commercially valuable ones of the county.
John F. Ringle was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, Sept. 22, 1845. John and Sophia (Boarts) Ringle were his parents, the father of Westmoreland county, Pa., and the mother of Ohio birth. After their removal to Stark county, Ohio, in 1848, the father learned the stone cutter's trade, at which he worked for some years, but becoming ultimately, a farmer. He died in Stark county at fifty-three years of age, while his wife still survives, there, and is aged seventy-nine years. Nine of their family of ten children were: Albert, John F., Daniel, Amos, Obediah, who died at four years; Elizabeth, Emma, who also died unmarried; Mary A. and William.
The district schools of the country provided our subject with the rudiments of an education and he made his home with his parents till he was past his majority. January 4, 1870, he married Charlotte Keplinger, a native of Stark county, Ohio, and a daughter of Jesse and Rebecca (Heim) Keplinger, both natives of the Keystone State. The Keplingers went to Ohio as children and were married there; Mr. Keplinger being a miller in early life but later a farmer. He was born in 1799 and died in 1855, while his widow survives him in DeKalb county, Indiana, at seventy-three years old. Mrs. Ringle was born Nov. 4, 1848, and is one of four children: Priscilla, who died in infancy; Charlotte, Rebecca, who died at eleven years, and Josephine.
Mrs. Keplinger married, the second time, Charles Baughman, who died leaving nine children, namely: Mrs. Caroline Panton, Sarah C., Mary A. and Florence E., deceased; Charles, Allen, Marion, Tabitha, deceased, and Magdalena.
After the marriage of John F. Ringle he purchased a sixty acre farm in Stark county, Ohio, and was employed with its cultivation till he set out for Kansas. In their climb upward in Montgomery county Mrs. Ringle's efforts were as valuable in the field as in the home. The misfortunes of the early years added greatly to her distress of mind and such real home-sickness as she experienced never afflicted mortal man. But she served herself to the inevitable and in the end found much pleasure in the sacrifices she made.
The Ringle home comprises 160 acres, is adorned with beautiful trees surround a commodious two-story residence. Gas serves the household for fuel and it comes from the bowels of the earth just beneath their own possessions.
Two of the three children Mr. and Mrs. Ringle still have with them; the other having died in infancy. Those living are: William Edgar, a student of the Baptist College at Ottawa, Kansas, for two years, and a graduate of the State University of Kansas. He is now Supt. Of the Coffeyville schools and is married to Lillian Newton. Ida Josephine is the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Ringle and is the wife of Pearl Austin Darling and resides on the Ringle homestead. She is a graduate of the Cherryvale high school and was a teacher for four years before she married. Emma Sophia is the deceased child and was the first born. - "History of Montgomery County, Kansas, Illustrated," 1903
