John B. Sprenkle

John B. Sprenkle, a retired retail dry goods merchant of this city, died 
Saturday morning at 9:45 o'clock, at his home, 108 West Market street. He was 
sixty-seven years old. He had been in ill health for the past year and several 
days ago he became seriously sick with influenza which due to his weakened 
condition, brought about his death. Besides his wife, he is survived by three 
daughters, Mrs. Leroy Fox, this city; Miss Dorothy Sprenkle, at home; and Mrs. 
Clarence Wholson, Lancaster, Pa. Mr. Sprenkle had been living retired for the 
past fifteen years having prior to the time of his retirement conducted a 
retail dry good store in the house in which he died Saturday morning. He was 
vice president of the First National bank of this city and for the past many 
years was an elder of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church. For twenty-five 
years he was librarian of the Sunday school of that congregation. He was 
affiliated with the York lodge, No. 266 Free and Accepted Masons, and the 
Knights of Templar, having been a member of the general committee of that 
organization which made arrangements for the entertainment of two of the state 
conclaves which assembled in this city. Funeral services over the body will be 
held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at his late residence. Rev. Dr. Clinton E. 
Walter, pastor of St. Paul's church will officiate. Interment will be made in 
Prospect Hill cemetery.
