General Notes: Husband - Isaac Ringer

---

He was a carpenter by trade and during the oil excitement went to the oil country where he remained eight or ten years as a contractor and builder. When he married he removed to Salem township, Westmoreland County, and continued his occupation of contracting. In 1873 while erecting Moore's distillery near McKeesport he fell from the building and sustained injuries so severe that he was thereafter unable to do heavy work; for a year thereafter he was unable to leave the house. His constitution however was strong and he did not retire altogether from the active duties of life. He was a man of quiet and reserved disposition and said nothing but what he meant. He was an officer in the Lutheran church, a man of strict integrity and of few words, but his word was his bond.
