SPRINGER.—It is with a sad heart that I am called upon to chronicle the death of our dear old mother, Eliza Springer, who fell asleep on April 27th, 1885; aged 75 years, 4 months, and 23 days.
I was summoned by telegram as soon as she passed away, as were also her other children. Three of the five responded to the call.
Funeral services on the 29th by Elder Hawkins, of the Christian Church; after which we laid her away to rest beside our father, who passed away in August 1867.
Mother was baptized in May 1840, by Elder Z. H. Gurley, Senr., and from that day to her death, her purely Christian life gave evidence of her implicit faith in God and his glorious plan of human redemption. The gospel was her living and dying sentiment. She rests in peace.
She was the mother of ten children, five of whom survive her; myself the oldest, residence, Lucas, Iowa; Anna M. Pennington, Plattsmouth, Nebraska; Harriet Hart, Lewisville, Indiana; John M. Springer, Maryville, Missouri; and Mary E. Ross, of Burnside, where mother lived and died.
"Farewell mother, we shall miss thee,
But we know thy rest is sweet;
And again we hope to greet thee,
When our joy will be complete.
Yes, we'll meet thee, saluted mother,
When the cares of life are o'er;
The loved ones gone and loved ones coming,
All will meet to part no more." B. Y. SPRINGER.
