General Notes: Husband - Robert Stewart Pringle


He was an infant when his parents moved to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was educated in the public schools, finishing at the State Normal School at Slippery Rock. He began business life as an employee of the Pittsburgh, Chenango & Lake Erie railroad, remaining three years until 1894. In the latter year he established his own business, the sale of torpedoes and the "shooting" of gas and oil wells. He was very successful in this hazardous business, which beginning in 1899 he conducted with Bradford as his headquarters, as manager for the E. O. Du Pont and de Nemours Powder Company.
Mr. Pringle was a Republican, but very independent in political action. He was an attendant of the Presbyterian church and fraternally connected with Bradford Lodge, No. 234, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and Bradford Lodge, No. 411, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. His clubs were the Edgewood and the Bradford Gun.
