Read More	From Nevada Evening Journal June 19, 1944 Emily Ringheim, Beloved Woman, Dies Late Sunday Miss Emily Ringheim, 88, died at her home at 716 Fifth Street at 6:15 p. m. Sunday, after an illness which had continued since early in April. While her health had been failing for the past year, she had been able to be up and around the house until that time. Death came peacefully due to heart complications. Funeral rites to Miss Ringheim will be held at Memorial Lutheran Church of which she had been a member for over half a century, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, followed by interment in the Nevada cemetery. Her pastor, D.r J. O. Simon, will be in charge of the service. Emily Ringheim, a daughter of Knute and Margarette Ringheim, was born at Decorah, in Winneshiek county, Iowa, December 19, 1855. She finished school in Decorah and remained there to work in a dry goods store until 1883 shen she came to Nevada to join her mother, sisters and brothers who had already established their home here. For the first few years after coming to Nevada, she worked for her uncle, the late I. A. Ringheim, pioneer merchant. In 1887, she went into the dry goods business with her sister, Miss Hannah Ringheim. In 1906 the store was merged with the mens' clothing store owned by their brother, the late Andrew M. Ringheim. This connection continued unti the sudden death of Miss Hannah in 1920. Miss Emily then retired fromthe active management of the store but continued to spend as much time here as her health would permit until 1924 when she was compelled to retire due to her failing health. Miss Ringheim leaves her niece, Miss Hortense Hansell, who had made her home with her for many years, her nieces, Miss Ada Livingston of Nevada, Mrs. Marquis Bowman of Winnetka, Ill.; and Mrs. Charles A. Hagaman of Albany, New York and her two nephews, Dr. W. Whitfield Hansell of Des Moines and Wright Ringheim of Nevada. Miss Emily was the last remaining member of a family of six. Her sister, Ida Simmons, died many years ago in South Dakota; Hannah, died in Nevada in 1920; Margaret, Mrs. William Handell, died in Ottumwa in 1926; Bessie, Mrs. Frank Livingston died in Nevada in 1941 and her only brother, Andrew, died in Nevada the same year. Miss Ringheim was born in a Lutheran home and she has always been an active member of this church. Not long after the founding of Memorial Lutheran church in Nevada, she brought her membership into this church and has been greatly interested in all its activities throughout all of her life. It was due to her interest and liberal support that the new parsonage and church were built in 1911 and 1913. Nothing that was for the good and advancement of her church was foreign to her. Miss Ringheim was a woman of sincere Christian faith. She was a careful student of the Bible and strove to live a life in keeping with its teachings. She always rejoiced in the privilege of being helpful to those who were in need, took great interest in the work of all charitable institutions and gave freely to their support. She never thought of herself but always of others and the good that she could do. She was a fine example of Christian living. She will be missed and mourned not only by her family but also by a wide circle of friends.
