Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 36, Number 81, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1904 — Only One Charley Spriggs. [ARTICLE]

Only One Charley Spriggs.

Take him all in all as a capable and faithful school janitor, skillful and ingenious mechanic, and machinist, genial friend and protector of children, trusted advisor of teachers, enthusiastic naturalist and competent taxidermist; there is beyond doubt no o' her school janitor -in Indiana the equal of R. W. Spriggs better knoWn as Charley Spriggs. He has filled the position for ten years in cur Rensselaer public schools; teachers and people had come to consider him a fixture which they could not and would not lose, But this last view, as we much regret to say, was a mistake. He has resigned the position and will remove from Rensselaer. He will make a prospective trip to Oklahoma next week, and believes he bas'something in prospect which he can secure, aud will locate there. Should that expectation not be realized, ho will move to Michigan, his former home and where his father still reside?.
