Claus Springer

The news of the death of Claus Springer was received with profound regret and sadness here last Saturday morning, he having passed away after a lingering illness.

He was born at Nindorf, Germany, March 17, 1838, coming to this country at the age of 22 years, and settling in New York. In 1876 he emigrated to Texas, following his marriage a few years previous to Marie Schemmer, which union was blessed with nine children, five of whom still survive, they being, Peter Springer of New York, John Springer, of Schulenburg, Mrs. Arthur Kieswetter of Houston and Mrs. O. B. Schwenke and Mrs. Minnie Schwenke of this place. His wife also survives him.

Up until 1902 he was engaged in farming, during which year he moved to town where the remainder of his days were spent.

A stroke of paralysis, 8 months ago from which he never fully recovered hastened his death.

The funeral services were conducted from the home Sunday afternoon, and interment made at City Cemetery.

The sympathy of the community goes out to those of his loved ones, bereaved.
