Judge Ringle was born in Germany in 1814, emigrated to American and settled in this state in 1846, and has held numerous important public positions. At the time of his death he had been county judge for twenty years. He leaves a wife and nine children, the later of whom are all grown.

Death of Judge Ringle.

 

An extra issued from the office of the Wausau Central brings the particulars of the sudden death of Judge Ringle, which took place Thursday morning. He had been complaining of a slight stomach difficulty for some days, but the indisposition caused neither himself nor his family any anxiety. On Thursday morning he was sitting at his desk in his office when he was taken suddenly ill, and a few moments later expired. Heart disease is given as the cause of his death. The Judge had lived in Wausau since 1859, and had held the office of county Judge for 20 consecutive years. He had also filled many other offices of trust, and had been five times elected to the Legislature. He was a German by birth, and at the time of his death was in the 68th year of his age.
