Adam F. Sprenkle
Found Dead in Bed

Well Known Hanover Resident
Dies Suddenly of Internal
Hemorrhage

Hanover - Feb. 8 - Adam Forney Sprenkle, a well known citizen of this place for 
many years, was found dead in his bed in his room in the Colonial Hotel, on 
Railroad street, near Union depot today, at noon. Mr. Sprenkle did not come to 
dinner as usual and investigation was made by George Graves, a son of Mrs. 
Graves, the proprietor.

A physician was called and after an examination, expressed the opinion that he 
had died at an early hour, probably during the night, as the result of an 
internal hemorrhage. He seemed to be in his usual health upon retiring. He had 
been a roomer there for about 20 months.

He was the son of the late David and Catherine Dubbs [sic], well known 
residents of this place and is survived only by a sister, Mrs. Edward Dubbs, 
Carlisle street, extended, to whose home the body was removed in the afternoon 
at 1:30 o'clock.

The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. Rev. Dr. A.S. 
DeChant officiating. Interment will be made in Mt. Olivet cemetery.


Additional Comments:
Note that his parents were David & Catherine Sprenkle (not Dubbs).  His 
mother's maiden name was Forney.

Mrs. Edward Dubbs = Mary Elizabeth Sprenkle
