BiographyFrom the 1894 Portrait and Biological Record, Randolph County - URIAH GARRINGER is a Hoosier by nativity, having been born and reared in Monroe Township, Randolph County, and March 14, 1853. He is the eleventh [ tenth actually] son of a family of twelve children. His parents were Isaac and Sarah (Boots) Garringer. His father was a native of Fayette County, Ohio, and in the spring of 1859 came to Fairview, where he purchased two eighty-acre lots, raised his log cabin, made his pole shed and began the hard and active life of a pioneer - by felling the heavy timber and clearing the land. He was a hardy and industrious man and well fitted for labor. He was also a famous hunter, and his reputation as such extended beyond the confines of this county. Game was very abundant and his sport was rare and exciting. He married a farmer's daughter, Sally Boots, alluded to above, in 1843, and this family of children was born to them: Simon, a grocer at Antioch; Delilah, wife of Christian Ziegler; David, a farmer of Green Township; Samuel, of Green Township; Lewis, a farmer in Pike Township, Jay County; Phebe, wife of William Bales, of Red Key; Isaac, farmer in Green Township; John, a farmer of Monroe Township; George, farmer of the same township; Uriah, our subject; Sarah, wife of W. H. Collins; Henry, a farmer. The father of this family of boys and girls was one of the most successful farmers in the county and owned at one time a tract of 940 cares of land, of which he gave to each of his children eighty acres. He began life with eighty acres, and the handsome remainder was all made by his industry and good financiering. He died in 1870, and the mother in 1883, both at a ripe old age, and the latter a member of the Dunkard Church. His grandfather was a resident of Ohio, and died at the remarkable age of ninety-nine years; the grandmother died at the age of seventy-three; both were buried on the home farm, owned by Isaac Garringer.

Uriah Garringer was a farmer's boy, and was reared on the home farm, receiving a good, substantial, common education. At the age of twenty-five he was married to Miss Libbie Goodwin, daughter of Thomas and Nancy (Euring) Goodwin. The marriage occurred November 1, 1873. He began married life on the farm his father gave him and afterward added twenty acres more to it, all of which is well improved. His first house was a log one, built by Jacob Bales many years ago. Uriah, like his father, is a famous hunter, and makes annual trips to the woods of Michigan and an occasional one to Missouri, for the purpose of pursuing his favorite sport. His farm specialty is the raising and feeding of hogs, in which he is more than ordinarily successful. His breeds are the choicest, and always demand the highest price. His home is a handsome and happy one, and all the good and substantial things of life abundantly surround him. He has made a success of his years and is now enjoying the results. He has two children - Ona May and Russell G. Garringer. He is a Republican in Politics, and is justly proud of his farm, his home and his principles.7
 
DeathUriah died on 10 July 1920 in Randolph County, Indiana, at age 67.2 
BurialHis body was interred in Monroe Township, Randolph County, Indiana, in Hopewell Cemetery.2
