Young Lawyer Dies at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines.

GREER SPRINGER, of the law firm of Springer & Fickel, died at 3 o'clock

a.m., April 30, at Mercy Hospital, as the result of an operation

performed to remove a stomach cancer. MR. SPRINGER was a member of the

Polk County Bar Association and one of the best known of the younger

lawyers of the city.

MR. SPRINGER was born in Leon, Decatur County, Iowa, thirty-four years

ago and was reared in that part of the state. He came to Des Moines,

and studying law in the Iowa College of Law, was admitted to practice

and located here. In November, l90l, he became associated with H.L.

Fickel, officing in the Iowa Loan and Trust Building. The firm soon

built up a good practice and was well and favorably known.

About seven months ago, MR. SPRINGER was taken down with a severe cancer

and has suffered intense agony since that time. A short time ago he was

removed to Mercy Hospital, where his death occurred Thursday morning, in

the presence of his mother, brother WIRT and sister JESSIE.

MR. SPRINGER was known among his associates as a splendid student of

history, of which he was extremely fond. There was no better posted man

in Des Moines on European history than MR. SPRINGER and his information

was always at the command of his friends and associates.
