Decatur County Journal
September 3, l9l4

DOROTHY AYERS, daughter of MR. and MRS. DAVID AYERS, was born June l4,
l840, in Knox County, Ohio, and died at her home in Riley Township,
August l3, l9l4, aged 74 years, l month and 29 days. She was united in
marriage to JOHN L. GERINGER, March 5, l854. 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, Mont.; E.A. GERINGER, Gettysburg, S.D.;
MRS. J.H. NEWMAN, Leon; BYRON GERINGER, Mt. Ayr; MRS. ANNA BILLINGTON,
Willow Lakes, S.D.; 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, Mo.,
besides a host of other relatives and friends are left to mourn her
loss.

At the age of l3 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, l86l.
