The New Leaf, Effingham Kansas, 30 Jul 1897, Fri, Page 4
Mrs. Louisa Ringo died at her home three and one-half miles south of Huron, Tuesday at 12:30. Her maiden name was Louisa Holland. She was born in Kentucky in 1826, and married to John Ringo, he preempted the home now left by her, but died in 1856, and she has owned it ever since, being a widow over thirty years. Mrs. Ringo was attacked by cancer of the womb in 1895, and in June 1896 was taken to her bed, from which she never arose during all those weary months of pain. She was very patient and bore her trouble without complaint. The house in which she died was the one erected by her husband, and one of the first built in that part of Atchison county. Three children were born, two of whom are now living: L. D. at home with his mother, and B. L. lives one 80 of the farm and is married. Mrs. Ringo was buried Wednesday at 2 o'clock at Old Huron cemetery.
