  	Three Souls are Called Last week we briefly reported the death on Monday, Jan. 10, 1910 at the home of his son, Fritz Sporleder, in Sheridan township, of Carl Sporleder, aged 91 years, five months and four days. He was one of the few men in the county to reach such an advanced age. The events that have passed in history during his long life made and unmade nations, and the great achievements of science and inventions that have revolutionized the word and the condition of human life, were all brought about during the lifetime of this aged pilgrim. Carl Sporleder was born at Dassel, Amt Einbech, Prov., Hanover, Germany, August 6, 1818. He was schooled there and was confirmed as a member of the Evang. Lutheran Church, which affiliation he maintained throughout the course of his long life of busy endeavor. At the age of 28 he was united in marriage to Miss Carolina Ernst, and there survive as the issue of their union, three sons, William, Sporleder, Pierce, Neb., Fritz Sporleder, Carroll, Ia., Henry Sporleder, Parsons, Kans., and Mina, Mrs. John Jonas, Two Rivers, Wis. There also survive many grand children and great-grand children. Departed came to America in 1871, settling in Will county, Ill., where they resided until 1879, when they came to Carroll and he bought property in "West Carroll." It was while living there that his faithful wife died, 23 years ago, and since then he made his home with his sons, Henry and Fred. The funeral was conducted from Emmanuel Lutheran Church Sheridan township, at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon, January 12th. Pastor Schmidt conducting the services. Interment took place at the cemetery adjoining the church. There was an unusually large attendance from the surrounding townships, including the town of Glidden and this city, for departed was a man whom all liked and respected. He was a patriarch, at whose feet of old those of younger years sat to listen to words of wisdom, the fruit of ripe years, and experience. Time mellows such an one's views. He calmly regards men's faults and failings with the charity denied to those whose blood flows firily and who act from impulse rather than deliberation. The life of this venerable Christian, living by the rules of his faith year after year, rearing his family in the knowledge and fear of God, what a splendid example is it to emulate! His virtues should furnish a lamp to the feet of others, groping their way in the darkness of spirit caused by sin. That his years, filled with virtue, goodness and good incentive, may continue to influence others to strive for a better life, to seek the path of perfection and be able.
