EDWARD AND SAMUEL
PERINGER
Edward
and Samuel Peringer are the sons of Leonard and Eliza (Murry) Peringer,
both of whom were born in Missouri, the former in 1822 and the latter in
1827.
The father was a farmer by occupation and in his young days made
several trips to California in search of gold, and his efforts were so
amply rewarded that upon his death, which occurred April 9, 1882, he
left a fine legacy to his family.
The mother is of English and Scotch-Irish descent, and is now
sixty-one years of age.
Her parents were Edmond and Clarimond Murry, who were born in
1780 and 1787, and died in 1837, and 1863, respectively.
Leonard Peringer and wife are the parents of one daughter, Eliza.
Their son Edward, was born in Madison County in 1861, and was
educated in Fayette College, Howard County.
After leaving college in 1881 he returned to the farm and has
since followed agricultural pursuits and stock shipping.
January 20, 1887, he was married to Lizzie Belkin, who was born
in Madison County in 1866.
Another son, Samuel Peringer, was born in Madison County in 1864,
and was educated at Belleview Collegiate Institute.
For some time he has been engaged in farming and stock trading on
the large farm of 900 acres, belonging to himself and brother, inherited
from his father.
On a portion of the estate rich lead ore has been discovered. The
Peringer Bros., are Democrats.
Mrs. Edward Peringer’s parents, Jasper and Elizabeth (Hellaker)
