| Obituary | Her obituary from the Iowa, Decatur County Journal dated September 3, 1914 read: Dorothy Ayers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Ayers, was born June 14, 1840, in Knox County, Ohio, and died at her home in Riley Township, August 13, 1914, aged 74 years, 1 month and 29 days. She was united in marriage to John L. Geringer, March 5, 1854. To this union were born eleven children, two of whom preceded her in death. She is survived by her aged husband and nine children: A.W. Geringer, Jerome; H.D. Geringer, Axtel, Montana; E.A. Geringer, Gettysburg, South Dakota; Mrs. J.H. Newman, Leon; Byron Geringer, Mt. Ayr; Mrs. Anna Billington, Willow Lakes, South Dakota; A.A. Geringer, G.C. Geringer and W.A. Geringer, who are still at home. Twenty-five grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Ella Gogleman, of Kirksville, Missouri, besides a host of other relatives and friends are left to mourn her loss. At the age of 13 she was converted and united with the Christian Church and remained a faithful and consistent member until the time of her death. She was a faithful wife, a kind and loving mother and her first thoughts were of ministering to her family and those around her, being ever ready to help bear the burdens of others. She was very patient during her last illness which lasted about five weeks and all that loving hands could do for her was of no avail and she succumbed to disease and passed away from this world to await the summons of the resurrection morning. Funeral services were held from the Mt. Zion Church Friday afternoon and interment was made in Mt. Zion Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Geringer were pioneer residents, having settled in Ringgold County in April, 1861.1 |
