Mrs. Sprague died following the birth of her eighth son, who lived but a short time. The county had no more highly respected lady than Mrs. Sprague. She was a real community worker and an ardent home woman. She took much pride with her seven sons, but failed to cast her eyes on the eighth.

The double funeral service will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock sun time, from the home. Besides her husband, she is survived by seven sons, the oldest of whom is but 14 years. She is survived by her parents, three sisters, Mrs. Earl Benedict of Muir, Mrs. Irma Reeder of Orange township, Mrs. Clinton Sible of Flint; two brothers, Clifford Townsend and Lynn Townsend of Orange township.
