Times makes this statement, for the Ring family has been one of Neillsville’s
oldest and most prominent families for years. Mrs. Ring and Miss Ethel have been
identified with all the educational and social activities of the city and their
departure from this city is a matter of very deep regret to their great circle
of friends here. Mrs. Austin is one of the city’s pioneer ladies and upon the
death of her husband, Geo. Austin, she has divided her time between this city
and Minneapolis¸ but her friends here sincerely hope that she will occasionally
stop off here and renew the old friendships that are hers.

and camped out. They made the trip to Neillsville in two weeks and are
enthusiastic in their approval of this method of travel. They had no trouble
other than occasional tire trouble and reached the Waterman home as a general
surprise to them. Mrs. Jos. Richards of Lime Springs, Iowa, is here also and
when she goes home, the Misses McKenzie will drive their car through to Iowa on
their return trip and take Mrs. Richards with them. Mrs. J.H. Johnson of Chetek,
a sister of Mrs. Waterman, came down last week to spend a few days visiting the
Waterman guests.
