Michael Ringeisen Received Many Birthday Congratulations.

Michael Ringeisen, who moved from Hanging Grove township to the formes Robinson farm, just west of the cemetery, last year, was 77 years of age Friday and the event was celebrated by a postal card shower. Mr. Ringeisen never received so much mail in a single day before in his life. The cards began to arrive the day before and were still arriving the day after. Some not only sent cards but wrote letters and the total number of cards had reached 55 by. Saturday afternoon. It was very enjoyable to Mr. Ringeisen, although he realized that. his family had “put them up to do it.” Miany of the cards came from distant points, former neighbors as well as relatives extending their congratulations. He Is blessed with excellent health and thoroughly enjoyed the manner to eeflebrate his birthday.
