She was the widow of William van Esselstine and had emigrated to the US in 1923 from Barrow in Furness, Lancs, England with her first husband James Ferguson and neice Edith Salisbury. They lived in Titusville, PA at first. Is there a reliable site I can look for information about births, deaths and marriages as I'm in the UK and have no idea how the US system works for obtaining 'present day' certificates. Thanks for any help. Jan

Born on Sept. 23, 1908, in Lima, to Elvin Otto and Vern Edith (Barton) McPheron, she was married to Ellsworth Bruce Springer on Dec. 25, 1926, in New Washington. Mrs. Springer is survived by her daughter, June Lavon Biddinger of Cleburne, Texas; two sons Robert L. Springer of Fairfield Glade, Tenn., and Everett C. Springer of Plant City, Fla; nine grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Lois Young, 93, of Gainesville, Fla. Grace was preceded in death by a still-born son in 1936; her father in 1963; a sister, Elsie Mae McPheron in 1967; her mother in 1980; her husband in 1982; her son-in-law, H. Clay Biddinger in 2002; and a son, Jay Elvin Springer in 2004. She was blessed with remarkably good health for nearly 97 1/2 years and was an active member of New Washington United Methodist Church for over 60 years. Her unique giggle was a joy to all, and she was admired for her hard work as a homemaker, farm partner, gardener, community volunteer, and Ohio Genealogical Society member of both the Allen County and Crawford County chapters. Until her death, she enjoyed playing solitaire and corresponded in beautiful handwriting with many friends and relatives. Grace requested that there be no funeral or memorial service. She chose to be cremated and have her ashes buried beside her husband's in the Union Cemetery in Sulphur Springs.

Over the last few years, between Thanksgiving and News Years we have "taken a break" from "Looking for uncle Fred's obituary" to sharing memories of family and friends as a way of Celebrating and giving thanks for their lives and our own lives. For without them having gone before us we definitely wouldn't be here. Its officially sharing time! I will be with Sister's family over the holidays so will not necessarily have good access to the computer. The Blind One doesn't have a computer at her house. For some reason, she doesn't seem to think that the chauffer, me, should have time off to go the library to use theirs when she needs a driver to take her shopping since has hubby has to work and can't. Oh well that is what aged baby sisters are for. I want to wish all of you a very merry Christmas, a bright Hanukah and a Joyous New Year. Be happy, play nicely, don't mess up the sand box too badly and List Mom will be back in a couple of weeks. Deborah Byrd List Mom
