Max Sprung 

Graveside services for Max Sprung of Houston, formerly of Wharton and 
Edna, were held sunday, July 29, 2001, at the Shearith Israel cemetery 
in Wharton. 
Mr. Sprung died Friday, July 27 at St. Luke’s Hospital. Born in Brooklyn 
on Jan. 16, 1915, and moved to Wharton at an early age where he 
graduated from high school before moving to Edna. In Edna he became a 
successful and a highly respected Minimax grocer. Upon retirement, he 
and his wife moved to Houston to be near their children, but continued 
to own and maintain a 100-acre ranch outside of Edna where they spent 
many weekends. 
Survivors include his wife of 62 years, Rae Sprung; sons, Marty Sprung, 
Alan Sprung and Warren Sprung; 11 grandchildren; and a great-grandchild. 
The family requests that all donations be made to Seven Acres, 6200 N.
