584	Charles Robert Craig was my older brother and ,as such,he protected me in my younger years. He was not interested in school work,and his sophomore year in high school was spent playing hooky.After my Dad found out about the hooky,he told Charlie that he had two choices; go to school or join the Army. My brother chose the Army, and went off to Fort Meade in Maryland. We did not see much of each other after that,and,I don't think we ever corresponded by mail. This reclusive attitude carried over into relations with his family,and,as far as I know,none of the family members knew he had died until three years after the fact. I am still trying to get the facts of his death from Soc.Sec.;i.e.;where,when,how and why; but they answer my requests by claiming immunity under the Right To Privacy Act. This occurs after the man has been dead over three years!!! What will happen to history and biographical information if this policy is continued? I have written to Congressman John Mica about this situation and asked him to change the law and get the info released to me, but, so far, two months later, no reply. I also sent a letter to Soc.Sec. headquarters in Philadelphia,PA in late July,1999, and received no answer. The only response was received by my brother's second wife,Jean, that SS payments stopped in 1996. This month, Dec.,1999, I searched SS death records, included with my Family Tree Maker computer program, and found that Charles died on May 20,1996, but this record included no other pertinent data,except his SS#. In the 8 to 10 years before his death, my brother lived a somewhat nomadic life, going from CA to Mexico to FL to GA to CA to WY to MT to FL to CA to wherever he resided when he died [assumed to be WY]. He lived with Mom for several years before she died in 1991, and I assume that he left Azusa shortly after that for his final residence. As an update;Congressman John Mica replied to my letter on Dec.20,1999; He has requested that the appropriate official look into the matter and respond to him; then he will respond to me. The response arrived,But Nothing Changed!!! Our esteemed SS Employees are still hiding under the blanket of The Right To Privacy Act and refuse to give me any facts about Where and How he died. They infer that he was receiving his checks in Turtle Creek,PA and he hasn't lived there since he was a young boy.	CRAIG, Charles Robert (I3147)

588	Clarence Everet "Pete" Spang wrote in 1963 that Michael was married twice but had no children by his first wife. This statement is inconsistent with the census records which show the following: 1850, Salem, Westmoreland County, PA (image 16/57) Michael J Spang 36 Susan Spang 35 Sophia Spang 15 Josiah 13 Barbara 8 George A 7 The 1860 census for Leechburg, Armstrong Co. PA (Page 48, Stamped 322 (image 5/10)) Michl, 44, brick maker, is living with his wife, Martha, 46, and 2 children, Anne A, 20 and George, 18, brick molder. Although the ages are a little off, the family composition is correct. It would appear that Michael did not have any children by his second wife, Martha. Also, Leechburg is about 35 miles from Salem so the family could easily have moved.	SPANG, Michael (I1055)

He was a good citizen, a staunch Freethinker, and an honest man. His was the first funeral in the history of our town at which the sweet sad memory of custom was set aside for the beautiful funeral service of the Freethought ritual. The funeral took place May 1, and the service was conducted by Mr. E.D. Metcalf, one of our most conscientious business men and a warm personal friend of the deceased, who shared in his views. Friends of the departed who had never been in sympathy with his iconoclasm listened intently to the Free- thought service, and were surprised to find their feelings voiced in language so lofty in sentiment, that touched all hearts by its naturalness and simplicity. Peter Spang was born at Rimeling, on the Rhine, Nov, 6 l926 --and claimed to be--a Frenchman although his birthplace now belongs to Germany. He came to the United States at an early age and was apprenticed to a pious shoemaker in a community where he suffered much on account of his religion, having been brought up a Roman Catholic. He was not well treated: by his "Unco guid" master, but was afterwards lucky in finding a home and employment with a man of no religion who did not care if his apprentice was a Catholic or a Buddhist, if he behaved himself otherwise. This man was upright in all his dealings. He was known in the community as an Infidel. Mr. Spang was so impressed with the sturdy virtue of the man of no religion that in after years when He found himself out of sympathy with his mother church, he naturally adopted the principles of Freethought. For twenty-five years he was an aggressive Freethinker, and The Truth Seeker's weekly visit helped to brighten the last nineteen years of his life. After having lived in California and other parts of the United States, he brought his wife and family to Johnson County, Wyoming, in 1882, where he engaged in farming and stock raising with considerable success. His life had been an active one, and suddenly finding himself with nothing to do he began to worry. He feared that the accumulation of a life of toil would melt away and leave his loving wife in want. He feared that the cause of Freethought would be injured if he ever got in debt. He died hoping that no act of his life had brought discredit on the cause. He demonstrated that the horrors with which superstition has surrounded the Freethinker's deathbed have no existence in fact. I never met with a more upright and conscientious man, I never knew a more devoted husband or a move indulgent father. It pained him to be the cause of injury to a fellow being. The wife he leaves behind him was in sympathy with his views, and during his closing years, when his eyesight had begun to fail, she read to him for The Truth Seeker and his favorite books. Notwithstanding his worry, he left his wife in good circumstances, and his family of sons and daughters are all married. The citizens of this community held Mr.Spang in the highest esteem, although he was outspoken in his beliefs. There is a Western freedom of thought and action here which is bringing about an evolutionary reform, but which does not do much to develop the aggressive Freethinker. Mr. Spang almost stood alone. He lived bravely and died peacefully. Among these who knew him only the kindliest memories of his life remain. __________ From the Historical Department of the Fort McKinney Chapter, DAR. History - Mr. and Mrs. Peter Spang Mr. Spang was born in Alsace Lorraine, France in Rheimlingen on Nov. 6, 1826 and moved with his parents to New Haven, Conn., in 1835. He there grew to manhood and was a shoemaker by trade. Harriet Hubbard was born on Feb. 12, 1824 in what was then called South Farmes, now called Middletown, Conn. She lived there until the age of 15 and then moved to New Haven, Conn. They both attended the public schools of the different vicinities. They were married on Jan. 9, 1847 and made a home in New Haven. Mr. Spang worked at his trade. One of Mrs. Spang?s brothers went to California in 1849, returning in 1852 and had such wonderful stories to tell that Mr. Spang decided to leave his family and return to California with him to see the wonderful "golden west." Mr. Spang was so infatuated with it that he sent for his family to come. They went by ship to Aspinwall, the railroad being built only part way across the Isthmus of Panama. From the terminus of the railroad they had to be transported on the back of a burro the rest of the way to the City of Panama. Having two children, she had to carry her baby in her lap. There a ship was waiting to take them to San Francisco. From there they went 150 miles east to the gold fields, going as far as Stockton by train and then on horseback. Again she had to carry her baby in her lap. At times the roads were so steep she was afraid to stay on the horse and would get off and carry the baby in her arms. Therefore, it was a very hard, strenuous trip for Mrs. Spang. Mr. Spang operated a little store and used gold dust for money. Mrs. Spang used gold dust for money also. She baked bread and washed for the miners and received gold dust as pay. At that time there were no orchards or vineyards in the country, -- not even any kind of wild fruit or berries. A neighbor sent east and had apple seeds and peach pits sent to him which he planted and in that way started the first fruit orchard she knew anything about. The peaches came into bearing in the second year from planting. Others followed their example and soon had fruit orchards, the land there being very fertile. They both sluiced and panned for gold at different times. Once after Mr. Spang had worked all day at the mines, Mrs. Spang went out to where he was working in the late afternoon and picked up a nugget that was worth $40.00. That was her best find. They acquired some land and set out an orchard, planted a garden and flowers. Mrs. Spang was a great flower lover all her life. Mrs. Spang fell heir to some money in the East, but could not collect if from where she was, so had to give her husband power of attorney to get it, and he returned to Connecticut, procured the money and returned to California. But before he returned, he wrote his wife to sell out and come back to Connecticut. She wrote back, "No." If he wanted her to come back there, he would have to come and get her. So they remained in California for 11 years, their family having increased to 6 children. Mr. Spang felt that the children could have so many more advantages in the east that they returned to New Haven. They had lived in the west too long and could not be satisfied in an eastern city, so they remained there only 3 years and came west, this time to Iowa. (1) The older children being grown, two of them remained in New Haven. It was so cold and bleak that Mrs. Spang did not like Iowa but stayed there 11 years. She then prevailed on her husband to go to Florida.(2) They went and stayed one winter and were thoroughly disgusted with this country and returned by boat to New Haven. He visited his children and other relatives and sent for his wife and two children to come. So Mrs. Spang and two children went, leaving three grown children in Iowa. They stayed in New Haven for 5 years. One son, Bernadine Spang (3), had gone from Iowa to Wyoming, so Mr. Spang and another son left New Haven (This son must have been Alban. SSB .) and came to join their son who was living at Buffalo, Wyoming in 1882 and had established a restaurant in the building next to that occupied by Ed Chappell. In the spring of 1883. he and his wife and daughter, Mrs. Mary Mead, who was then 17 years old, came to Buffalo. They came to Custer Station, that being the nearest railroad, 250 miles distant, where Mr. Spang and son (Alban) met them with wagon and teams. They were two weeks on the road down to Buffalo, camping out at night with muddy roads and cold weather. They arrived in Buffalo on May 10, 1883. They lived in Buffalo three years, then moved to Beaver Creek, 30 miles south, and lived there between 10 and 11 years, then sold the ranch and again moved to Buffalo where Mr. Spang died in 1896. Mrs. Spang remained a resident of Buffalo until her death on July 31, 1913. Mr. and Mrs. Spang were the, parents of eight children, the eldest, Nicholas, dying in infancy. The remainder living to manhood and womanhood. Grandma Spang was truly a beautiful character, a good neighbor, and friend and loving mother. One of whom her children could rise up and call blessed. (Author's Note: Mr. Peter Spang seemed to be blessed with a true pioneer spirit and a wanderlust to go with it. He was also blessed with an understanding wife.)	SPANG, Peter (I212)
