LOUIS F. SPRINGER was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in 1853, and died at Reading, Pennsylvania, April 19, 1914. He graduated from Lafayette College, Easton, Penssylvania, and came to Independence, Iowa, in 1880 and engaged in the practice of law. In 1881 he was elected county attorney of Buchanan County and was re-elected two years later, serving four years. In 1885 he was elected mayor of Independence and served one year. He was clerk of the district court from 1891 to 1895. In 1901 he was elected representative and regularly re-elected until 1906, serving in the Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thirty-second and Thirty-second extra General Assemblies. As this was a Republican county and he was a Democrat, his career attested to the confidence his constituents reposed in him. Owing to his declining health he returned to and remained a resident of his old home in Pennsylvania a year or two before his death.
