Notes:

Henry Moyer, "was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in 1778. (He had two sisters we know, namely Anna, Married to Abraham Stauffer, and Catharine, married to a Mr. Widemoyer) His father was Christian (Christian Moyer was married to Mary Fried, and Abraham Moyer and William Moyer of Berlin always claimed to be relatives to old Samuel Fried and also the old Detweilers claimed to be second cousin to the descendants of our old Henry Moyer, thus proving to have been descendants of Christian Moyer who was married to a Detweiler.

It is a pity that the direct lineage cannot be proved or fully shown at this date. We have cases here with us where it is impossible to show the lineage of families as no records are left, and yet they are related. In regard to the Moyer lineage it is difficult to give facts as the old family bible in which were kept the records of the old ancestors was destroyed by fire October 15th, 1829) but it cannot be definitely stated which of the Christian Moyers he was, namely the son of Christian or Jacob.

When Henry was a mere lad his parents moved to Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he was raised. When a young man he was united in matrimony with Susannah, (She was from Springfield, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where her parents resided) daughter of Abraham and Catharine (Fried) Souder. She was born April 1st, 1779.

Soon after their marriage he purchased a farm of seventy acres, four miles from Doylestown, and paid $2200 cash thereon. Shortly after the purchase of the seventy acres there were other thirty acres, adjoining his, offered for sale, and following the advice of his friends who promised to advance him the money, he also purchased those thirty acres. This together with his former purchase made him the possessor of one hundred acres of land. Soon property depreciated in value and he could not meet his payments, neither would his friends who had made such smooth promises come to his assistance. The result was, he was financially ruined.

In 1825 he and his wife and family came to Canada with old Jacob Clemens and family, old Abraham Clemens and family, Jacob Kolb, (Jacob Kolb had moved to Canada in 1819 but returned to Pennsylvania in 1824 to assist in settling his mother-in-law's estate and now with this company returned to Canada) and Martin Schiedel and wife. Henry Moyer and family settled on a farm (This farm is now in possession of Daniel Wenger) two miles south of Breslau where he died March 27th, 1845. After his death the widow had her home with her son, William, where she died October 18th, 1860. To them were born five children"

King Street , North Side

Pandora Street

Pandora Street and next to it the site of Bishop Benjamin Eby's buildings and farm. A fine lawn surrounded a large frame house with spacious veranda between the house and King Street. There was a large barn and east of it a cider mill operated by Ely Eby, son of the Bishop. In later years the place was occupied by Rev. Moses Erb and his son Menno Erb, the cider mill long continuing. There was a large orchard between the farm buildings and the Mennonite Meeting House and cemetery. The Mennonites had at first no shed adjoining their church. Posts joined by a chain led along the King Street front, for tying horses. The sheds came later. In 1834 a frame building was erected for this Church. It was moved to Cedar Street in 1902 when the present brick Church was erected and is still used as a woodenware factory.

Eby school house was located at the easterly corner of the cemetery. A frame building, painted red, before 1830. In the rear and to the east of the cemetery was William Moyer's farm with his brick house still standing at the top of the slope from King Street.

Notes:

Peter Erb William Moyer, M. A., "was born in the village of Preston, Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada, October 3rd, 1836. When the subject of this notice was only about a year old his parents moved to a bush farm in what is now known as Williamsburg neighborhood, Waterloo Township, where his early years were spent, working on the farm in summer and going to school in winter. When only fifteen years of age he commenced to teach a public school and spent some four or five years between teaching in winter, helping on the farm in summer, and engaging in some minor business affairs.

When about twenty years old an event transpired which was the means of changing the whole tenor and ambition of his after life. Becoming convinced that life would be a great failure without the love of Christ in his heart, he gave himself to the Saviour of men and became a member of the Methodist Church of which he has been an active and zealous member ever after. He had a strong desire to do what good he could to his fellowmen and very soon commenced to perform the duties of a local preacher. He then attended Victoria University, at that time located in Cobourg, Ontario, for four years and graduated in arts, receiving the degree of B. A., and three years later that of M. A.

He spent three years as a travelling preacher, but owing to failing of health and other considerations, satisfactory to his own mind, he decided to devote himself to newspaper life, having for some years acted as correspondent of a number of leading religious and secular papers in Canada and the United States, all his articles being of more than ordinary ability and gladly accepted. In spring of 1866 he purchased the 'Waterloo Chronicle' which he conducted for some four years and greatly increased the number of its subscribers, the amount of its business and financial value.

During the first of these years he wrote a history or sketches of the early settlements and pioneers of Waterloo and published them in a series of articles in that paper. They were highly interesting and have been made the foundation for all succeeding attempts to write larger or shorter accounts of these early eventful times. Disposing of his Waterloo business, he purchased a daily paper in St. Catharines which he successfully carried on for eight years. Having a good offer to dispose of that establishment, he accepted it and then returned with his family to his native county and shortly after started the 'Berlin Daily News' of which he is still editor and proprietor. He is a fluent, independent and vigorous writer, intensely in earnest, thoroughly Canadian in all his feelings and aspirations, and never fails to make his readers understand what he means.

His domestic life has been unusually happy. In 1868 he was married to Elizabeth H., the eldest daughter of the late William Ardagh, alderman and contractor, Toronto, and they have been blessed with nine bright children who are all alive at this time of printing. Mr. Moyer has for many years been an efficient and able member of the municipal council of the town of Berlin and has never failed to use his best energies to advance its interests and promote its growth. There are few, if any, public improvements in the town which have not had his strong advocacy and help. He has also held a number of other offices of trust, the duties of which he has always faithfully attended to. He is a member of a number of benefit and fraternal societies, and in some of them from year to year a representative, officer and active worker in their supreme councils.

For nearly forty years he has been an official and active worker in the Methodist Church, and has been a lay delegate in a number of annual conferences and of the last general conference, the highest court and only legislative body of that great church. Mr. Moyer has had a very busy life, a large part of his work being done under the disadvantage of being a great sufferer for many years from feeble health and chronic rheumatism. The names of his children are as follows: Alice, Mary, William, married to Minnie Wagner, Ellen, Ada, Charles, Edward, Lillie, and Herbert."

PETER ERB WM. MOYER

M.A., editor and proprietor of the Daily News, Berlin, Ont., was born October 3rd, 1836, at Preston, Waterloo County. His parents were William and Mary (Erb) Moyer. His father was born in Pennsylvania in 1809, and came to Waterloo County in 1823, where he was a successful farmer and speculator. His mother was of Pennsylvania Dutch descent. Mr. Moyer received his education at the public schools and Victoria University, graduating from the latter institution in 1865. He taught school successfully at the early age of fifteen, and continued it for some years. He afterwards attended Victoria College four years, and spent three years as a probationer, preaching in the Methodist ministry. In 1866 he purchased the Waterloo Chronicle, which he conducted with success for over three years, when he sold out for an advance over what he paid for it. He then purchased the Daily Times, St. Catharines, afterwards merged into the News. After conducting this paper for a number of years, he sold out, and in 1878 started the Daily News, Berlin, it being the first daily paper in the county. This paper has been a success from its establishment, which is entirely due to the proprietor's energy and ability. Mr. Moyer is a public-spirited citizen, and is active in all matters pertaining to the welfare of Canada. He has been the leading advocate in his town of street railways, electric light, water works, new factories, etc., and is usually successful bringing about all the reforms and enterprises he advocates. He was town councillor for some years. In religion he is a staunch Methodist, and in politics an active Conservative, but ever independent in the advocacy of right. He is a member of the A.O.U.W., R.A. and C.O.C.F., holding the office of Past Master in all except the Mr. Moyer was married in 1868 to Elizabeth Harriet, daughter of the late Wm. Ardagh, Toronto, who was alderman there some years. His family consists of four sons and five daughters.

Peter E.W. Moyer, publisher of the "Berlin Daily News", died on Thursday morning after a lengthy illness, at the age of 59 years, 9 months, and 6 days. He was born in Preston, and when he was 1 year old, his father moved to a farm in the still rather uncivilized area of Williamsburg, Waterloo township. At the age of 15 years, he began to teach school, then for a time, he took photographs, and was an employee in a store, and at the age of 20, he entered Victoria University in Cobourg, where he received an M.A. Thereafter, he was a Methodist preacher for several years, and then bought the Waterloo Chronicle in 1866, which he published for 4 years; then, he began a daily religious newspaper in Toronto, which however, did not last long. Then, he published a daily newspaper in St. Catharines for 8 years, took over his father's farm near Berlin in 1877 on the latter's death, and in the same year, began the "Daily News" here, which he directed up until his death. In politics, he was a strong Conservative; he advocated high protective tariffs years before the Conservative Party concerned itself with the matter, for which reason he was called the father of the N.P. He had already been , and became again in this year, a member of the town council. He had been married since 1868 and is survived by his widow and 9 children, 4 boys and 5 girls. His funeral took place on Saturday, with a large attendance, at the Mennonite cemetery in the east end of the city.

Notes:

A SAD SCENE

On Tuesday evening the 9th of August about 7 o'clock Bro. Allen Eby, son of Eld. Amos Eby, and Bro. Simon Moyer, son of Jonas Moyer, both living near Berlin, Waterloo Co., Ontario, were killed by lightning while standing under a tree. They had gone out into the field to plow after supper, and after having plowed a few rounds, they saw a shower coming and they sought shelter under a tree in the adjoining field where the lightning struck them and instantly killed both. Their wives, after hearing the severe stroke, went out to see if it had struck the barn, and while thus looking they saw the horses running in the field, and not seeing the men they went in search for them, and found them lying under the burning tree. What a shock must this have been, to find their dear husbands lifeless before them. They lald them to one side and went after help. Allen Eby's age was 27 years, 10 months and 21 days. He leaves a widow with one child to mourn their loss.

Moyer's age was 26 years, 5 months and 20 days. He leaves a widow to mourn her loss. They were buried side by side in the Eby Cemetery, Berlin, on the 11th of August. This was the saddest funeral we ever witnessed. The entire community was stirred, and all seemed to deply sympathize with these two young widows and breaved friends. It is estimated that over 1,500 people were present at the burial. The services were conducted by Eld. H. Goudie at the house, and H. S. Hallman and Eld. Yaeger at the church. What a blessed thing it is to be ready. Then let death come by lightning or any other way, and it will be all right. - Gospel Banner.

Other Events:

• Name: Louisa Snider
• Eby ID Number: 00031-2451.4

Notes:

Louisa (Louise) was the second of six children born to Amos Eby (1842-1923) and Esther Eby, née Moyer (1838-1930). She was born in Waterloo Township, Ontario, where her father was a farmer. In 1870, the family moved to a farm in Maryborough Township, Wellington County.

Louisa married Edwin S. Snider in 1897. At the time, Edwin worked for his uncle, Dilman Shantz, at the Jacob Y. Shantz & Son Company, a button factory in Buffalo, New York.

The 1900 United States Census finds Louise, Edwin, and a one-year-old daughter, Helen G., living in Rochester, New York. Edwin was a foreman in a button factory. This factory was operated by another of Edwin's uncles, Moses Shantz.

By the time of the 1910 census, Edwin, Louise, Helen, and a son, Roswell, lived in Newstead, New York. Edwin's occupation was noted as superintendent in a button factory.

The 1920 census shows that the family had returned to Rochester. The household included Edwin (age 47), Louise (50), and children, Helen G. (21), Roswell E. (18) and Edwin's mother, Lucinda Snider (71). Edwin was a superintendent in a button factory.

In 1930, Edwin, Louise, and her mother, Esther Eby, lived in Ferndale, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Edwin was listed as a button manufacturer. By this time, Helen and Roswell were living in New York City, where Helen was a musician, and Roswell, a scenic designer.

Louisa died in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, in 1937. She was buried in the First Mennonite Cemetery, Kitchener, Ontario, near the graves of her parents, Amos and Esther Eby.

Although both "Edwin S. Snider" and "Louisa Eby" are inscribed on the gravestone, it is uncertain whether he is buried at that spot, since his birth and death years (unlike his wife's dates) have not been added. The inscription for Helen G. Snider is on the back of the stone.

BRESLAU HAS ITS HEART APPEAL FOR ONE OF HER ABSENT SONS

Noah M. Moyer of Philadelphia, formerly of Breslau, and well known in Kitchener, in a letter writing contest conducted by the Philadelphia Daily News recently captured first prize with a brief letter relative to his "home town." The letter is as follows: Editor Daily News:

If you haven't a real love for the old home town, cultivate one. I am now around the half-century mark and there is no place that I would rather go than my little Canadian village of 150 inhabitants.

For some years I have made my annual visits there. I have walked down the streets of most of our large cities but there is no street that gives me such a thrill as the one and only street in that old home town.

Let me take you to the old mill with its old-fashioned water wheel, then to the old general store, where we used to spend our
coppers, and next up the hill to the old school house with the same old bell ringing as it always did.

Those are all sacred spots to me, but the best of all is the old home with mother in the doorway.

N. M. MOYER, 318 8. Broad St.

Notes:

Ross Macdonald is the pseudonym of the American-Canadian writer of crime fiction Kenneth Millar (December 13, 1915 – July 11, 1983). He is best known for his series of hardboiled novels set in southern California and featuring private detective Lew Archer. Millar was born in Los Gatos, California, and raised in his parents' native Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, where he started college. When his father abandoned his family unexpectedly, Macdonald lived with his mother and various relatives, moving several times by his sixteenth year. The prominence of broken homes and domestic problems in his fiction has its roots in his youth.

Flash From the Past: Famous 20th century private eye is rooted in Kitchener

Which Kitchener author has sold the most books? *

By rych mills Special to the Record

Incorrect guesses have ranged from Edna Staebler (Schmecks) to David Morrell (Rambo); from David Chilton (Wealthy Barber) to Mabel Dunham (Trail of the Conestoga). The actual winner isn't readily recognizable because only four early novels bore his real name - Kenneth Millar. His primary nom-de-plume is more familiar \emdash Ross Macdonald. But his private eye's name gives the game away \emdash Lew Archer.

Through 18 novels, numerous short stories, radio productions and several films (two starring Paul Newman as Lew Harper), Archer became the dominant private investigator during the late 1940s to mid-1970s

And Archer's roots curl back here to Kitchener.

Biographies by Tom Nolan, Matthew Bruccoli, Paul Nelson and Kevin Avery cover Millar's entire career. Each outlines the Kitchener years but Nolan devotes 40 pages to an exhaustive look at Ken's Kitchener world ... and it's not a pretty picture.

Growing up with dysfunctional, separated parents, Millar (1915-1983) spent several periods in Kitchener, as well as California, Vancouver, Medicine Hat, Winnipeg and Wiarton. In 1920, Annie Moyer Miller brought young Ken to her mother's house at 32 Brubacher, a dour, repressive environment that Ken evaded as much as possible. Not quite a stereotypical juvenile delinquent, Ken could be labelled a juvenile bookworm delinquent. He frequented pool halls, gambling rooms (yes, even in 1920s Kitchener) as much as bookstores and the Kitchener Public Library (KPL).

The most famous story \emdash perhaps apocryphal although I prefer to believe it \emdash combines both sides of his addictions. One day at MacCallum's billiard parlour/newsstand he discovered a hard-hitting crime novel by Dashiell Hammett. Later, he asked KPL's Mabel Dunham why Hammett's books were not stocked. They were, she said, but in a restricted area not accessible to the public. While Ken's intellectual mind was outraged, his criminal mind was engaged. After closing, he snuck in, found KPL's restricted area with authors such as Faulkner, Hemingway, Flaubert and Hammett and grabbed an armful. On the way to grandmother's home, he symbolically dumped them into a sewer.

For two years, Ken attended Kitchener Collegiate during which he contributed to the school yearbook, the Grumbler, as both author and literary editor. In 1931, his first published story "South Sea Soup Company" was a Conan Doyle send-up featuring "Herlock Sholmes." In 1932, he was listed on the Grumbler's editorial staff and in "Zuider Zee" introduced "Philo France," to lampoon Philo Vance, a popular New York gumshoe. His final Grumbler story, "To the Damned Their Due," featured an escaped murderer parachuting from a plane only to perish on hydro wires.

After graduating, although motivated by teachers such as Cy Philp and Bill Archer, Ken had no immediate prospects so spent a year working on a farm. Fortunately for his future \emdash and the future of literature \emdash Ken's feckless father died in May 1933 and his insurance policy bought Ken four years of college. During his sole year at Waterloo College, he contributed numerous articles to the school's paper The Cord. Realizing that the small college's faculty knew less than he did, Ken transferred to Western in London for a five-year course in history and English. Again, his knowledge of literature outpaced his professors. The day after graduating from Western, Ken and Kitchenerite Margaret Sturm married and one year later they had a daughter, Linda. Further studies at the University of Michigan led to his doctorate and eventual recognition as one of that university's all-time outstanding graduate students.

Ken and Margaret lived and wrote in California until they died in 1983 and 1994. Three times, they returned to hometown Kitchener, 1948, 1955 and 1971.

Locally, only the Kitchener Public and University of Waterloo libraries have circulating copies of Nolan's book but there are new and used copies on the internet where numerous sites also detail his private and public lives. Although he dropped his surname, it accompanied Ken's writing career step-by-step: his wife Margaret (Sturm) Millar actually authored more mystery novels than her husband over a longer time, 1941 through 1986.

Footnote: * I realize the definition of "Kitchener author" is a moving target: born here? lived here? moved here? educated here? family roots here? Take your pick, but Kenneth Millar can answer yes to four of those five.

CARPENTER HEIR TO MILLIONS

Owner of Newfoundland Estate Located in Brooklyn.

NEW YORK Dec. 17.-(Special.)-The heir to an estate romantically rated at $85.000.000 which is alleged to have been causing the British government, the Duke of Marlborough and the Duke of Devonshire all sorts of trouble, has been found, It is said, in the person of Joseph Coila, a Brooklyn carpenter, 65 years of age. New York attorneys stated today that Coilas is beyond doubt the man sought.

The estate is in Newfoundland, and consists of several miles of water front, rentals, interest and a fishing industry. The income has been a source of much wrangling in England and some of it has been going to Lady Elizabeth Churchill.

It is explained that one Samuel Churchill went to St. Johns 75 years ago and laid the foundation of the great fortune. He had two daughters, Elizabeth and Clermont, and one son, Nicholas. Clermont married the captain of a fishing vessel and was disinherited. Nicholas was taken by pirates while on his way to London, and forced to walk the plank. He left a will bequeathing his share of the estate to Clermont. About that time Coilas married a Churchill and the two sisters dying without issue the Coilas became the direct descendants and heirs to the estate. Samuel Churchill was of the Marlborough-Churchill family and the Duke of Devonshire comes into the comes through a blood connection. Coilas family consists of his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Katherine Green of Rochester and Cora B. Coilas.

From Churchills in Newfoundland genealogy.com

I am trying to locate information about my great grandmother, Tottie Clarabelle Moyer Springer.She claimed in the Los Angeles Examiner and throughout her life to her children and grandchildren to be the granddaughter of Samuel Churchill of Newfoundland.

Los Angeles Examiner, January 28, 1912:

"It is explained that Samuel Churchill went to St. John's seventy-five years ago and there laid the foundation of the great fortune.He had two daughters, Elizabeth and Clermont, and one son, Nicholas.Clermont Churchill married the captain of a fishing vessel and was disinherited."The piece goes on to quote my great grandmother:"'I believe I am the daughter of Cleremont Churchill."It then goes on about her recollections as a child.[She claims her mother was killed and that she was kidnapped and sent to an orphanage in Galt where she was adopted by Cyrus Erb Moyer and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Springer.]

There is a similar piece in the New York Times, March 23, 1912:"Churchill Heirs to Meet."That article states that Samuel Churchill, d. 1785, had two daughters, Claremont Churchill (m. Thomas Bolin) and Elizabeth Churchill (m. John Haffyard).No mention of Tottie here, though.

Another source I found that I can't find again lists Samuel Churchill's daughter as "Clarimond" who married Maurice Bolan.

Does anyone have any information about children (documented or rumored) of Clermont, Cleremont, Claremont, or Clarimond Churchill and Maruice Bolan or Thomas Bolin?

Moses S. "Mose" Springer

This is really the story of Mose and his wife, Tottie--well, mostly her, because my great-grandfather, Mose, died young.

Orphaned as a young girl, Tottie Clarabelle Moyer, according to her own account, was born in England in 1873. (More on that in the Random Stuff I Learned tab.) She was taken into the home of Cyrus Moyer and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Springer, where she grew up in a well-to-do neighborhood in Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario.

I haven't been able to locate guardianship records for Tottie and I don't know how old she was when she joined her new family, but she was living with the Moyers when she was 8 years old, according to census records. Tottie had a difficult relationship with Cyrus and Lizzie, especially as she grew older. At one point, probably as a teenager, she ran away and worked for awhile in a department store in Toronto before being brought back home.

Lizzie was Mose Springer's older sister, so Mose and Tottie probably knew of each other from the time she first entered the Moyer household. However, their age difference makes it unlikely that they would have known each other well. According to the 1900 U.S. Census, Mose immigrated to the United States in 1879 (seventeen years before Tottie would emigrate from Canada in 1896), where he worked as a telegraph operator for the Associated Press in California.

Mose and Tottie were married in 1896, in Sacramento, California. He was 36 years old; she was 23. In 1897, their first child was born, a son whom they named Lawrence Moses. During this time, Mose and Tottie moved from Sacramento to Los Angeles. A second son, Charles "Charlie" Christopher, was born in 1898. Their third son was born in 1900: Leonard Wood.

Photographs from this period and information in the 1900 U.S. Census (which states that Mose and Tottie had a live-in servant, Jinnie Bankhead) show a family living with comfortable economic means. However, all of this soon changed. Mose and Tottie were only married for six years before he died in 1902. He had been a heavy binge drinker for many years and died of what was thought to be a heart attack.

Upon the death of her husband, Tottie took her sons back to Canada, where they all lived for a time with the Moyers in Berlin. At some point, Tottie's strained relationship with Cyrus and Lizzie caused her to return to the United States, leaving her children behind in their care. However, the three young boys missed their mother and their native California and soon returned home to Los Angeles, despite the Moyers' attempts to keep them in Canada.

It was undoubtedly a difficult time for Tottie, a young widow and mother of three small children. She became involved with spiritualists who encouraged her to make unsound investments in dubious enterprises and the money that Tottie had been left upon Mose's death quickly disappeared. As a result, perhaps around 1908, she temporarily placed her sons in a Catholic orphanage in Los Angeles, managed by the Sisters of Mercy, called Home of the Guardian Angel, while she went to work in states as far away as Colorado and Washington for the Sunset Telephone Company as a chief long distance operator. In 1909, at the age of 12, Lawrence contracted polio and was nursed back to health by the sisters. All of Tottie's children stayed at the orphanage through 1910, although letters show that Lawrence and Leonard stayed on into at least the early part of 1911.

Tottie was unemployed in 1920, according to the U.S. Census of that year, but all three of her sons were still living at home with her. She never remarried. Voter registration records from 1922 to 1936 show that her occupation alternated over the years between "housewife" and housekeeper/hotel maid. She later worked for the Pacific Building Company for many years and lived with her son, Charlie, until she was 91 years old.

My great-grandmother died in 1966. Shortly before she died, Tottie is reported to have said, "How beautiful it is, and there's Mose."

"Springer Hoax"

Part of what got me interested in doing genealogical research was the fact that my father told me growing up that he was descended from a man named Charles Christopher ("Karrell Christofferson") Springer. Charles Christopher Springer was--according to his own account in a letter written to his mother--kidnapped on his way home to Sweden from London, England (where he had been studying), and taken to America. He worked as an indentured servant in Virginia before earning his freedom and heading north, where he was taken in by fellow Swedes who had settled along the Delaware River in what was then known as "New Sweden." There, he served as lay reader in the absence of a minister at Cranehook Church for several years and was instrumental in securing funds for the building of a new church, Holy Trinity ("Old Swedes"). He married and had a number of children. This is all very interesting and true.

Jumping ahead a few years to 1882: the enterprising duo of George W. Ponton and Charles H. Bierce--both aliases, it turned out--devised an inheritance scam in London, Ontario. This is it, in a nutshell: they drew up papers saying that Charles Christopher Springer's estate was valued at $100,000,000 and that the city of Wilmington, Delaware, had agreed to pay his heirs $20,000,000 to release itself from the claim. One of these men (Ponton) claimed to be an agent representing the Springer heirs, each of whom would receive $90,000; the other man (Bierce) claimed to be an heir. The whole scheme unraveled when it was revealed to be a scam to get people to loan money to the pair, with the promise of repayment once Bierce got his settlement. So, the men were arrested and that's the end of that story.

Except it isn't. The "Fabulous Springer Estate" remained alive and well in the imagination of Springers everywhere, not just among the Canadian Springers. People wanted to perpetuate the idea that they were somehow related to Charles Christopher Springer because...well, what if there was some truth to that huge estate claim? So, random Springers started making family histories that listed themselves as descendants of Charles Christopher Springer. Among my ancestors, my gg-grandfather, Moses Springer, appears to have been the main culprit. As a public figure, there was a lot written about him, most of which included a passing reference to Charles Christopher Springer as his gg-grandfather David's ancestor. Unfortunately, sometimes genealogists mistake--quite honestly--secondary sources for primary sources; however, just because something is published, doesn't necessarily mean it's true.
