Jerome Sprague Granted Pension by Illinois Central
Jerome Sprague of 119 Maplestree has retired on pension after 40 years with the Illinois Central, mainly as a switch engine operator in Waterloo. Born in Bullivan county New York, he began as fireman on the Minnesota division and became an engineer in 1888. He lauds company kindness and recalls the old link and pin era amid modern safety advances. The board of pensioners approved his retirement effective March 1.
