John C. Springer, son of Christian and Fanny Springer, was born in Tazewell Co., Ill., Sept. 19, 1871 and died of typhoid fever in Elkhart Co., Ind., Oct. 11, 1910; aged 39 y. 22 d.
He united in marriage with Nancy Miller, Sept. 6, 1895. To this union were born four children; Esther, Alma, William and a son who died in infancy. He leaves besides his wife and three children an aged father, seven sisters, one brother and a host of friends who mourn his departure.
He united with the Mennonite Church in early life and was ordained to the ministry by this church at White Cloud, Mich., about six years ago. To this faith and calling he remained faithful to the end. He had been in ill health for some years. At New Year of 1909 they moved to New Mexico and later to Upland, Calif. His health improved somewhat at the latter place, but finding living here very expensive they removed to Indiana in March of this year. However, his constitution seems to have been too weak to withstand the severe attack of typhoid with which he was overtaken. Those who attended him, however, thought he was improving, and his very sudden death came as a shock to all.
His services with the church at this place were much appreciated and his loss is keenly felt. Funeral was held at the Clinton Brick Mennonite Church, Oct. 14. Services were conducted by John Garber and D. J. Johns from II Tim. 4:7 and 8. The text was the brother's own selection.
