Last week we briefly reported the death on Monday, January 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 this country 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 world and the conditions of human life, were all brought about during the lifetime of this aged pilgrim.

Carl Sporleder was born at Dassel, Amt Einbeck, Province, Hanover, Germany, August 6, 1818. He was schooled there and was confirmed as a member of the Evangelical 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, Nebraska, Fritz Sporleder, Carroll, Iowa, Henry Sporleder, Parsons, Kansas, and Mrs. John (Wilhelmine) Jonas, Two Rivers, Wisconsin. There also survive many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Departed came to America in 1871 settling in Will County, Illinois, where they resided until 1879, when they came to Carroll and he bought property in West Carroll (County). 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 (Carroll), for departed was a man whom all liked and respected. He was a patriarch, at those feet of old those of younger years sat to listen to words of wisdom, the fruit of ripe years and experience. Time mellows one's views. He calmly regards men 's faults and failings with the charity denied to those whose blood flows firily (with fire) 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; wh at a splendid example is it to emulate! His virtues should furnish the lamp to 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.

The obituary appears to be from the Carroll Herald Times. Edits in parenthesis were added for clarification. Carl was also known as Charles. His given name was Carl Franz Ernest August Sporleder
