Ora Vivian Pringle was born in the Rugby Community in 1895 in the county of Red River, TX. She moved with her family in 1900 to Runnels Co., where her daddy built a large two story house, then in 1903 to Tom Green Co., then again in 1904 moving to Arden Comm., Irion Co. TX. She had 5 brothers and 8 sisters. She married Willie Loyd Pringle at age 16, under a large oak tree in a grove in Arden on 1 Sep 1912. At last account, the oak tree was still standing. The grove was used for the Arden Homecoming Reunion for over 50 years. She Lived in Miami, FL for the first 14 years of her married life, having 4 kids there. From the earliest years that I remember grandma: she was a crafts person. On the 1900 census, she was working at the 5 & 10 in San Angelo selling crochet thread and rick rack. She crocheted doll clothes, doilies, made chenille doodads and plaster planters to sell in her doll shop beside the house on Houston St in San Angelo. She was an avid parcheesi player, '42' player, 'spoon' and later Yahtzee. She was baptized in 1912 and attended the Harris & Irving church of Christ, then a charter member of the first Church of Christ in Miami, FL then at the Santa Rita congregation, then renamed the Colorado & Jackson congregation all in San Angelo. She faithfully attended the Sheffield Encampment for over 20 years. She was married for 58 years to her only husband, had 3 sons and 3 daughters; 20 grandchildren and 45 great grandchildren before her death. Grandma babysat the grandkids ,as well as all the neighborhood kids, was a voting precinct clerk for many years, enjoyed watching wrestling and quilted on the large quilting frame in the living room. She loved fishing and had a many a family watermelon fete on the concrete tornado shelter in the backyard. But don't call her, if there was a storm because she was in the tornado shelter. Every Monday was wash day either boiling the clothes in the old steel kettle, rinsing them in the wash-tubs; until the Maytag came along and was kept in the barn. She had Oleander bushes around the house and a big screened in front porch for anyone passing by to come in and sit a spell. She lived in San Angelo for over 25 years and went five times to Miami, FL to visit kinfolks. Grandma left her impression on many of the family, some of us with a switch in our younger years and others with a stern word of advice.
