Samuel Pringle, a native of Wilmore, died at a late hour Wednesday night at his home in Braddock, where he had been confined to his residence during the past two years with paralysis. He was aged 43 years. Mr. Pringle was well-known in financial circles in the Braddock district and was formerly connected with the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Railroad at various stations along the Pittsburgh Division. His widow, Mrs. Byers Pringle, is a native of Johnstown. She is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Byers and is a sister of Charles A. Byers, of Westmont.
Mr. Pringle was born at Wilmore, Pa., this county, November 7, 1870, a son of Robert Pringle, one of the old-time and earliest passenger engineers on the Pittsburgh Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. When he was quite young, the Pringle family removed to New Florence and Samuel Pringle took his first position as assistant ticket agent at the station at New Florence under Joseph Wagner; then he went to Cresson as assistant ticket agent and assistant station master under T. H. Watt, succeeding Mr. Watt, the late Frank Watt, remained in that position eight years. He was transferred to the East Liberty Station as ticket agent and remained there two years, leaving in 1902 to become bookkeeper and teller at the First Nation Bank of Braddock, which position he held until June, 1907, when he was transfered to the Braddock Trust Company, under almost the same directorate, as teller, and in 1908 became Secretary-Treasurer of that company, remaining there until ill health caused him to resign two years ago.
In November, 1893, Samuel Pringle and Miss Anna Byers were married in the city by the Rev. Dr. C. C. Hays, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Pringle survives, with two daughters, Evelyn and Helen Pringle. Two brothers of the deceased, Charles and Robert Pringle, of Pittsburgh, and two sisters, Mrs. William Geryemy, and Mrs. Charles Gilland of Braddock, also survive.
Funeral services will be held the evening at the Pringle home by the Rev. F. B. Limerick, of Braddock Presbyterian Church. The remains will be brought to Johnstown on train No. 24 tomorrow afternoon for burial in Grandview Cemetery. Mr. Pringle was a member of Braddock Lodge, B. P. O. E., and also of Edgar Thomson Council, Royal Arcanum.
