General Notes: Husband - Jonathan Spangler, Sr.

---

He was reared as a farmer boy, with such schooling as his time and locality afforded. His education was practical and mainly self-acquired, and, as he was fond of reading and had a good memory, he became conversant with the issues of his day in Church and State. His hearing was deficient, or he would doubtless have taken the same in-terest in Church affairs which was shown by his father, as he was a devout member of the Evangelical Church and a prominent contributor. His word was as good as his note, his promise for anything being all that his friends would ask. Intoxicating drinks had in him a bitter enemy, and he was the first farmer in his locality to abolish the use of the whiskey jug in the harvest field. In politics he was a Democrat until 1862, when he became a Republican, and his change was the occasion of much surprise at the time. He held office in Miles township, and took interest in the success of the party, keeping always well posted on issues. He owned a large farm, which he has partially cleared, and was one of the leading agriculturists in his township.
