Robert Pringle Dies at Lakota
Bob Pringle, who moved from Greene 39 years ago, going to Buffalo Center, died at Lakota, Iowa March 27, aged 83 years. He was the father of Miss Emma Pringle, of this city, who was present at the funeral. We might say it was a close second for he and "Judge" Mabee as to who was the first auctioneer in Greene, but they were both good hands to cry a sale. Bob was a lively fellow and fifty years ago he gathered quite a herd of cattle, which took off in the spring, returning in the fall. Many funny incidents might be related during Bob's residence here.

We learn that Robert Pringle received injuries from a fire and explosion of gasoline at his home at Lakota, March 27, causing his death. His home and that of his son were just across the street from each other and Robert Pringle had been living alone, but the paper says that he was looked after daily by his son, Milton. However, the son, in starting a fire in his father's stove, got hold of a can containing gasoline instead of kerosene, and it was the old story over again - an explosion- and the old gentleman Pringle getting the count that cost him his life. He had other relatives in Greene, being a brother Jim and George Pringle besides nephews and nieces.
