Mrs.Sarah A.Springer;wife of J.M.Springer;Esq.;died on July 25th;1893;and was interred in the Bellevernon cemetery at 3 o’clock July 27th. She was born December 5th;1825;in Rostraver township;and was in her 68th year. Her maiden name was Reeves;daughter of Samuel and Nancy Reeves;and whe was united in marriage to J.M.Springer May 15th;1847;and was the mother of nine children;all of whom survive her and who were present at the time of her death and burial. A true devoted Christian mother;it was her happy lot to see all her children grow to manhood and womanhood;and her’s was the first death in the family. In this union was cemented;though existing;social ties between two of the oldest and best known families in this part of the state. Each of these families dating their settlement among the first in the wilderness of the Monongahela valley. Her disease was an acute affection of the stomach;from which she suffered deep and painful affliction for about five months. Her end was peace;and was marked by the quiet resignation of a long life earnestly spent in the service of the Master on High;and her bereaved husband and family have the heart-felt sympathy of a large portion of the community who knew her but to love her. The thought is;however;a consoling one-that their loss is her gain;as she has gone to reap the reward deservingly won. The funeral ws attended by a large assemblage of relatives and friends;and the service was conducted by Rev.B.L.Kershner;pastor of the Christian church;assisted by Rev.Charles Clark;pastor of the Presbyterian charge at Rehoboth.
