He had been more or less a sufferer from kidney troubles for the last five years. Last Thursday he was taken to his bed from which he was never able to rise from again. He leaves a wife and three children--Mrs Anton SCHMITT and Wm and Theo SPRINGBORN, all of this city--to mourn his death, and they have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their bereavement. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon from the Lutheran church and was largely attended. Frederick SPRINGBORN was born in the province of Mecklenberg, Germany, and came to this country in 1869, locating at Ripon in this state. In 1881 he removed to this city where he has resided ever since. Joan M.
