BIOGRAPHY OF
MOSES E. SPRINGER
MOSES E. SPRINGER, the leading undertaker of Englewood, N.
J., was born August 5, 1827, in New York City, where he resided
until 1857, when he went to Wisconsin, where he remained two
years. His education was acquired partly in the public schools,
but chiefly through his own exertions and by those means which
an ambitious youth finds amid the active employments of life.
Thrown at an early age upon his own resources, he manfully paved
his way in the world, picked up here and there valuable bits
of information, and rapidly acquired a practical experience which
has served him well throughout his career.
For about fifteen years, both before and after his residence
in Wisconsin, Mr. Springer was successfully engaged in business
as a builder and contractor. In 1859 he returned East and settled
in Englewood, N. J., where he still resides, and where he has
successfully conducted an undertaking business since he retired
from contracting. He is now the leading undertaker in that town,
and has also been active in public affairs, having served for
three years as Tax Assessor. He was one of the founders of Englewood
Lodge of Good Templars and was a charter member of Tuscan Lodge,
No. 115, F. and A. M., of Englewood, of which he is still a prominent
member and Past Master. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, a public spirited and enterprising citizen, and in all
the relations of life has displayed the attributes which mark
a successful man. During the past eleven years he has been Secretary
of the Englewood Mutual Loan and Building Association, a position
which he still holds.
Mr. Springer was married, in 1854, to Mary A. Golding, of
New York City. Their children are Hester, Mary E., George W.,
Charles W., and Josephine Burr Springer.
