The obituary of Vernon Arnsperger’s grandfather, the Reverend Ferdinand Arnsperger, follows:

REV. FERDINAND ARNSPERGER

Was born July 18, 1837 at Eslingen, Wissenberg in Germany and died April 1, 1901, thus reaching an age of 64 years 9 months and 13 days. In his 18th year he came to America; before coming west he lived in Cincinnati, and Ohio. He was in the active ministry of the German M. E Church for 19 years, filling the following charges: Jackson Mission, Mo; Wesson Mo; Oregon, Mo; Muscafins [sic], Ia; Genesseo [sic], Ill; Nanvoo [sic], Ill; Wapello, Ia; Concordia, Mo; and Dalton, Mo. Salisbury was a station on the Dalton circuit then. On retiring from the active ministry about 18 years ago, he settled down on a farm near Salisbury. During the last few years he was city missionary in St. Louis, belonging to the “Willing Workers.”

About two months ago he suddenly took sick in St. Louis and since then it has been almost a continual struggle between life and death for him. His sickness was dropsy. He slumbered over into the better world leaving behind in our hearts the conviction that he is now at rest with Christ. The funeral services took place at the German M. E. church Wednesday morning and were conducted by the pastor, E.T. Asling, and Rev. M. Roeder of Moberly, and old friend and co-laborer of the deceased preached the funeral sermon in German and Rev. Dillingham of St. Louis, also a “Willing Worker,” and a dear friend of Bro. Arnsperger, favored us with a song and a few remarks in English. Bro. Arnspergers [sic] death is mourned by his widow, four sons, Abraham, Sam, Dan and Louis all living here and two daughters, Emma living here and Mrs. Schulte of St Louis. Many friends expressed sympathy.

About 5 weeks ago he was brought up from St. Louis. He was taken care of at the home of his son, Abraham, his family doing all in their power to make his lot bearable and to restore his health. Our deepest sympathy is extended to all the bereaved ones (Salisbury Press-Spectator, Fri, Apr 5, 1901, p1, c2 –Copy in possession of Jane Denny).
