Obituary:- Death of North Coast Resident, Mr A. Pringle.

       Woombye February 24. 1938.Mr Adam Pringle, an old and respected resident of Woombye, who had been ill for some time, died yesterday afternoon. Born in Berkshire, Scotland,73 years ago, he was 18 years old when he came to Queensland.

       He first worked in the sugar industry on the Coomera River and then removed to the Samsonvale District. In the North Pine District in 1892, he married Miss Amy Skerman.

       They later removed to Bundaberg where the remained for 9 years and in 1900 theycame to the Woombye District where the late Mr. Pringle and his sons successfully carried on Mixed Farming, Dairying and Pineapple growing.

       Although in recent years Mr. Pringle had lived in semi-retirement, he still took an active interest in his Farm and assisted his sons on their own Farms. He was keenly interested in Cricket, Football and other Sports. He was a good Rifle Shot, being one of the Founders of  Rifle Shooting on the North Coast.

       (Before WW1, the Woombye Rifle Club was formed. The Rifle Range was set out in Adam Pringle's Paddock, with the Targets in front of an extensive thick vine Scrub along Paynter's Creek. The Pringle sons were Foundation Members of the Alexandra Headland L,ife Saving Club in the 1920's).

       Besides his wife, he leaves six sons- Messrs Fred, James of Roma and Dalby, James Percy,  John A.,  W.E.,  R.A. and G.A.Pringle of Woombye- and two daughters- Mesdames E. Brook and A.Mawbey.     Footnote:- I have been told that Adam and family and indeed, the farmers in the District made a wine out of the Pineapples. It was known as �Hen Wine�. This was because when you drank it, you lay (down).
