The Springs Valley Herald (February 26, 1953) reported "Charles A. Springer, 73, well known citizen of French Lick, died suddenly at his home in the west part of town last Thursday noon. Mr. Springer had gone home just before noon and was working in his yard when a trash fire spread to an adjoining field. He fought the fire for several minutes and after extinguishing it returned to the house and had his noon meal. He became very ill after lunch and shortly after had a heart attack. Dr. Miller was called and gave him an injection which seemed to revive him for a short time, then he relapsed into unconsciousness and died. Mr. Springer moved to French Lick with his family when 14 years of age and began working for the French Lick Hotel Co., at the age of sixteen. He was a faithful employee of the Taggarts as long as they owned the hotel and was at his death superintendent of landscape gardening and grounds for the present owners, rounding out some 37 years with the company. He was a member of the local Masonic Lodge and the E. U. B. Church. He served as a member of the Town Board for twenty years and always took an interest in civic affairs. Funeral services were held at the E. U. B. Church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock with Rev. Koertge officiating. The Masonic Lodge conferred the last rites at the grave. Interment was made in Ames Chapel cemetery with W. V. Ritter and Son in charge. He is survived by the wife, Mrs. Pearl Denny Springer, two sons, Harley J. of French Lick, Herschel R. of Sandoval, Ill., one daughter, Grace Springer Lane; three grandchildren, Mrs. Patty Stevenson, Buddy Joe and Ann Lane, and one great-grandchild, Bruce Stevenson."
