In Goshen died, in 1874, Peter Ringer, the father of John Ringer, in the ninety-fifth year of his age. He was the son of a wine-grower of Strasburg, Germany, and at the age of fifteen years was drafted into the French army. He served under Napoleon seven years, being with him in his campaigns to Holland and Spain. In the latter country he witnessed fearful carnage, and once had to subsist on human blood. He was also with Napoleon in his famous retreat from Moscow, and endured intense suffering. At Gibraltar he was taken prisoner, and for a time confined in a dungeon, but managed to escape, when the British forced him into their own ranks and sent him with their forces to Quebec. Here he gained his freedom, and fleeing to New York became a citizen of this country in 1814. In 1822 he came to Goshen, and passed the remainder of his life there, dying at the home of his son, John. ------------------------------------------ The New York Clipper – "Death's Doings - Weekly Record of the Decease of Prominent Individuals" – Fulton County, NY – Saturday February 28, 1874 p78: A native of Strasburg, Germany, and husband of the foregoing lady [ref: Mary Ringer's obit].
