C. INSPIRING
Continued from page one)

forty years he was superintendent of
the Sunday School of this church serv-
ing in this capacity until made honor
airy Superintendent. After taking up
his residence in Wauseon in 1902 he
not only drove from Wauseon to Ted
row to attend service and superin-
tend the Sunday School every Sunday,
but both he and his wife would come
every evening during the progress of
special or revival meetings. In 1887
he was leading spirit in the build
ing of a new church home; not only
did he inspire and enthuse others to
work but he gave his own time and
energy to tn work. During the Sum-
mer he kept one team for no other
work but the hauling and teaming
necessary to the church building, and
the hands employed on the building
were boarded in his home. He loved
his church and its service, through all
the years he acted as chorister both
in the church and Sunday School.
He was a devoted, kind and loving
husband and father; he lived his re-
hgion in his home and among his as
sociates, 1t is the testimony of one
who has known him as close friend
for fifty years, that never has he
heard from his lips a vulgar or un-
clean story. Clean minded, genial
always eager to extend a friendly
hand, he has lived good life and fol-
lowed in the way which leadeth unto
God.
He will be missed by the wife and
children who survive him, by the
brother and sister, by the church of
which he was for so many years a
member, by the comrades of Losure
Post G. A. R among whom he loved
so we'll to be, by the members of the
Waueson M. E. choir of which he was
member, by the Old Soldiers Sum
day School Class of the Wauseon
Methodist church of which he was the
teacher and by large circle of
friends, neighbors and associates who
loved and honored him.
He has fought a good fight; he has
kept the faith and he has entered into
rest
The funeral services of C. M. Spring
were conducted at the M. E. church.
Wauseon, by the three pastors who
had been intimate friends of the de-
ceased: First Brother Huffman, pas
tor of M. E Church of Wauseon read
a scriptural lesson followed by fer
vent prayer, after which Brother Mil
Ter, pastor of M. E. Church of Ted
row, Ohio, gave a discourse choosing
as his text from PauPs words Philli-
plans 1-21, "For me to live is Christ
and die is gain" After which Broth
er Money of West Unity who has
been intimately associated with the
deceased for the past twenty-five
years as pastor, business man and
neighbor spoke fitting words of en-
logy upon his life that had always
been cheerful emulating and uplifting
In his opinion, no man of Northwes-
good than the deceased
After Brother Money closed the G
A. R. performed their appropriate and
fitting ceremonies, after which the
casket was taken to the rear of the
church and viewed by the crowded
house of sympathizing neighbors
friends and all as they passed out
After which they proceeded to Ted
row cemetery where the services were
completed.
The M. E. Choir sang under trying
difficult conditions of sympathy hav.
ing appropriately draped his vacant
chair in mourning. But their selec.
tions were appropriate and well rem
dered as testified to by relatives.
