GEN. G. F. WILES, stock raiser, P. O. El Dorado,(Kansas) is a native of Ohio, and was born in Muskingum County, April 4, 1826. Was educated and reared in his native State. At the breaking out of the rebellion tendered his service to the Union cause, taking an active part in organizing a company in Zanesville, which was enrolled in the Seventy-eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and on the 26th of October, 1861, was commissioned First Lieutenant. He soon attained considerable celebrity as a drill officer, and in May, 1862, was appointed Regimental Drill Officer, the same month promoted to Captain, and detailed by Gen. John A. Logan to take charge of an engineer corps. The 16th of May, 1863, was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel, and participated upon that day in the battle of Champion Hill, where he achieved additional credit for coolness and skill. He contributed amply toward the suppression of Vicksburg and other prominent strongholds. September 1, 1863, he became Colonel, and July, 1864, took charge of a brigade, serving in that capacity until the close; being breveted Brigadier-General for meritorious conduct in the field. The engagements which his regiment was authorized by Gen. W. T. Sherman, to display on their banner were as follows: Pittsburg Landing, Corinth, Boliver, Iuka, Thompson's Hill, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Busby Mountains, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Savannah and Pacotarigo. Was mustered out July 15, 1865. For fourteen years, dating from 1865, was prominently identified with the hardware interests of Zanesville, Ohio, coming to Kansas the spring of 1880. He is ranked among the leading stockmen of Southern Kansas, controlling, in company with Mr. C. W. Potevan, of Ohio, four sections of choice land on the Whitewater. Gen. Wiles is a typical gentleman, commanding in appearance, inclined to modesty, never seeking notoriety. Is firm in his views, liberal in judging, and when his mind is made up it does not change. He is a member of the K. of H. and I. O. O. F. The General's wife was formerly Miss J. H. Chapman, of Zanesville, Ohio. Mrs. W. is a lady of culture, whose graces of mind and heart endear her to all. They have had seven children born to them-Ellen A. (now Mrs. Mudge), Kate S., Laura M. (now Mr s. Goodenough), Ida M., Cora L., Lulu P., and Milton C.

Guide to the Old Photographs
Elizabeth Trew Span McMurtry?s Family
This page is to help identify the old pictures that my mother gave me to preserve. My mother, Elizabeth Trew Spang McMurtry, was born in 1913, daughter of Joseph M Spang and Genevieve Crum.
Spang Family
Joseph Spang b 1880 was a medical doctor in Allegheny, Pennsylvania that was later annexed to the City of Pittsburgh and became the ?lower north side? of Pittsburgh. It was close to what has become known as the Mexican War District because the streets have names like: Palo Alto, Monterey, Buena Vista, etc. He married Genieve Crum between 1910 and 1912.
His parents were Joseph A. Spang b 1847 and Sarah Herr. The Herrs were Pennsylvania Dutch family from Lancaster Co., PA. IN 1880, he was listed as a carpenter. In 1900, Joseph A. was a janitor and his son Joseph M was a clerk in a grocery store. They had numerous lodgers who were clergyman. In 1870, Joseph and Sarah were living in Hampton, Allegheny County and Joseph was a farmer. With them lived several of Sarah?s Herr siblings or cousin. They also had a son Charles A. Spang b 1871 who was living in Avalon, Allegheny County with his wife Jennie, his mother Sarah and two daughters: Helen b 1903 and Ruth b 1907, later Sarah F b 1913. (This Sarah may be the cousin in some of the pictures with Elizabeth Spang.)
His grandparents were Jacob Spang b 1822 and Hannah Buffington. In 1850, Jacob was a farmer in Shaler Township. Hannah was born 1829; so she was the age to be a sibling or cousins of Ephraim Buffington who is one of the photos.
Crum
John Crum b 1840 married Martha Shannon b 1848. about 1867. In 1880, he was an engineer living in Washington Township, Armstrong County in western Pennsylvania. Martha?s parents were Irish immigrants and the census suggests they were Andrew and Margaret Shannon who lived in Duquesne Allegheny Co in 1860 and 1850. John and Martha had 5 daughters:
Elizabeth (known as Aunt Lizzie) b 1868 md John Trew Jones b 187, a street conductor
Sarah (known as Aunt Sadie) b 1872 md Howard W. Evans and had a son:
John H Evans 1896
Edward W. Evans b 1904 (uncle Eddie)
Ora b 1875
Maud M. b 1875 md John Livingston
Olive b 1905 md John Cleary (Aunt Olive) No children
Genevieve b 1877 md Joseph Spang
Elizabeth b 1913 md Joseph McMurtry
Martha/Marcy b about 1919 died 1920s
There is a beautiful picture of the 5 daughters in their youth with their parents.
Vera and her daughter Alice Jane fit in here somewhere, but I?m not sure where.

H. Austin Spang grew up on the streets of inner New Haven, Connecticut and started delivering newspapers as an 8 year old. The second youngest of 6 children, the family moved around the time he was born from Clark Street a short distance to Elm Street. Then, between 1910 and 1920, they moved to a brownstone at 267 Orange Street. His father had his dental office on the first floor, with a workroom behind it in which Mr. Watson made dentures. The living quarters were on the second and third floor.
By 1920, Austin was working as a bank clerk. Also his grandmother was living with them and he would tell how he had to wait for her to read the sports page before he could read it and how he carried her up and down the stairs from the 2nd and 3rd floors.
Most of the children were expected to go to college and his brother, Murray, would get his BE from the Yale School of Engineering in 1919. Austin ended up going to Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. While there he lettered in gymnastics. He developed a great deal of upper body strength which could be seen years later in his broad shoulders.
After graduating from college he returned to banking and, at some point, became a Bank Examiner for the Federal Reserve Board, a position he held until 1943. His territory covered New England so he traveled a great deal. I can recall picking him up at the North Haven Railroad Station on Friday nights but have no memory of dropping him off.
At some point he met Mildred Virginia Cox and they eventually married on September 24, 1930. The engagement almost got called off on June 21, 1930. A tragedy occurred in which a disturbed man threw his wife and 4 children and then himself from West Rock in New Haven. His last name happened to be Spang which prompted Mildred?s father to ask if he was related to which Austin replied ?Of course, all Spangs are related.? It turns out that he was a second cousin, one-time removed.
Austin and Mildred raised their family of 4 children on Middle Road in Hamden until 1943 when he was offered a position as Vice-President with the Middletown National Bank. The family moved to High Street, next to Wesleyan University. Five years later he was made President of a small bank in Springfield, Massachusetts. This was a difficult position for him and he readily accepted a Vice-President?s position with Hartford National Bank, located in Middletown in 1953 or 1954.
Personal memories of my father are multiple. Perhaps one of the earliest is climbing on his back and being taken for a swim at Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, Connecticut. If I try, I can feel the wool of his swim suit on my legs. During the summers, the 4 of us went to camp and my mother and father took a week or two vacation on Vinalhaven, an island off the coast of Maine. My father was so pleased when they opened the Maine Turnpike to Portland in 1947 as it reduced their travel time considerably. It must have been when I was 12 or 13 that he took me to my first Red Sox game at Fenway Park. The thing that stands out about that trip is not the game itself but the drive back as it was very late. Dad chomped on an unlit cigar to keep himself awake and told me it was ok for me to sleep.
My brothers and I attended Camp Becket, a YMCA camp in the Berkshires of Massachusetts and my father would visit on Dads? weekends. I was very homesick the first year I was there and spent a great deal of my summer in the Infirmary. He would stop in to see how I was but did not stay long as he did not know what to say. Dad became very active in the Dads? Association which raised a great deal of money to buy items that did not fit the camp budget. When I was 16 or 17, they purchased a new Ford Station Wagon to take the weekly trips to Pittsfield and to run into the town of Becket. I frequently drove it and, one day, hit a patch of sand on the side of a hill and rolled the car 3 times down the hill. His was the second call I made and all he was concerned about was whether I was injured or not.

Hans George Spang arrived in Philadelphia on 26 August 1751 on the ship "Anderson" and settled in Greenwich Township, Berks County, PA. An unproven narrative says that prior to his arrival in America, he had served with the Luxembourg army in Europe and for some violation of the rules of that army, he was forced to flee to America.
His wifes name was Anna Margaretha. They were married in Germany. On the tax lists of 1767-1768, he appears as a weaver in Greenwich Township owning 50 acres of land. He later moved to Heidelberg Township where he died.
There was a Hans Jerg Spang christened 11 December 1676 at Wurttenberg Jagstkreis Jagstzell , Katholisch Church son of Andreas and Catharina Spang. Although this is too early for our Hans George's birth, there may be a relationship.
Came to America from Wurttemberg, Germany on 8/25/1751 from Rotterdam to Philadelphia on the ship, Anderson. uncertain if wife was with him

Harry Morton was a lieutenant in the American Army during WW1. Because he was of German ancestry he changed his name to Morton,which displeased his family. We do not know too much about his past but we do know he was a very friendly person and the children thought he was great. He met Ila around 1933 and found out that they got along very well together. Ila left her husband and two children to live with Harry and they opened a restaurant across the street from West View Park in West View`Pa. In those days the Pgh. Railways Co.had a deal where you could buy a street car pass for the weekend for 25 cents and ride all over the system without paying anything extra. This was great and my brother,Charles and I made good use of it.It was at my Mother's restaurant that I had my first job as a waiter. I was tremendously impressed by the fact that I could receive tips for good service and I looked forward to going to West View every weekend.My brother was not as interested as I ,so a lot of weekends,I went alone.At that time, I was 12 years old.Later,my parents were divorced and the restaurant business folded.At that time,my Mother returned to our apartment and took care of my brother and me for a period of 3 months. At that time Harry recovered financially and he and Mom went to live together.After that we had a series of housekeepers who were never really satisfactory and my Dad decided that my brother and I were capable of running the house ourselves.It was during this period that I learned how to cook and clean house. When Harry and Mom relocated,they moved to Alexandria Va.in order to be near Charles,who,at that time was in the Army and stationed at Fort Meade,Va.After the war[WW2],they ended up living with Charles and his wife,Zelphia,in Alexandria,Va.At the end of the war Charles returned home and I received permission to take our base AT6 and fly to Washington,DC to renew acquaintances,as we hadn't seen each other for 3 years. I made the trip and when I was preparing to leave to fly back to Kansas,Charles wanted to know if he could go with me.I said'sure,as long as no one else has asked for a ride in the direction of Kansas and Zelphia says OK.After a month in Kansas Charles decided to go home.Irene and I gave him $50.00 and bought him a train ticket to Washington,DC,and off he went.Later on,we heard from Zelphia that he called her for money to get back to Alexandria from Chicago,because we had left him stranded there. | SCHLEUTER, Harry Morton aka (I3172)

He sailed around the horn to California on a merchant ship between 1851/1855 , settled in Sonora Ca to mine for gold. Then, in 1852 he sent for her and their children and they crossed the Isthmus of Panama, when it was a journey on mule-back, where she contracted panama fever, and was shipwrecked before finally meeting him in Sonora.
She opened a boarding house and they lived there and made more money on the boarding house than the mining. They had 4 more children in California.
In 62/63 went back to New Haven, Conn richer and wiser, where they had one more child. From there, they lived in Iowa for five years before coming to Wyoming.

DEATH OF MRS. HARRIET M. SPANG
In the event of the death of the above named lady, mention of which was made in last week's paper, Buffalo loses its oldest and best known inhabitant, as the passing of Grandma Spang marks an epoch in the history of this country from the standpoint of one who has been a citizen of this community for nearly thirty years, during which time she has administered to the wants of those whose services required her attention and counsel, and they were many. Harriet Maria Hubbard was born in Middletown, Conn., on the 12th day of February 1824, and was united to Peter Spang at New Haven in the same state on the 9th day of January 1847. Of this union eight children were born, six of whom are now living, viz., Wilfred Spang and Mrs. Chas. Dogue, of New Haven, Conn.; Alvin Spang of Lame Deer, Mont; Harriet Spang Spencer of Bemidji, Minn.; Mrs. O.H. Flagg, of Lander and Mrs. Mary J. Mead of Buffalo. She has one sister, Mrs. Hannah E. Stillson of New Haven, who is over ninety-three years of age, besides over one hundred grandchildren and great grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Mr. and Mrs. Spang crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1852 when it was a journey on mule back, with two children, going to California, and returned thirteen years later with seven children, going to New Haven, where they lived for quite a long time, coming to Iowa and living there for five years, moving to Johnson county in 1883, living here ever since. Her husband died in Buffalo April 30, 1896 and since that time she had lived with her daughter Mrs. Mead, where she has passed her declining years in peace. She had a kindly feeling for all, and the children delighted to tell of their fondness for Grandma Spang as she was known to the majority of Buffalo and Johnson county citizens. Her spiritual belief was of the spiritualistic faith, and the services were conducted, according to her wishes and those of her relatives, in the ritual of that religion. Many beautiful floral offerings were placed upon the casket of the deceased in commemoration of the numerous acts of kindness which she had performed in smoothing out the roughness of life for those she loved. The body was borne to its last resting place. Willow Grove cemetery, from her residence Friday afternoon, followed by her many friends and relatives in this part of the country, all of whom mourn her demise.
SPANG HISTORY- Memories from friends and relatives.
"Listen my children and you will hear, the story of a courageous little
lady pioneer." This little lady was born in a town in Connecticut called
Middleton, She was born on February 12, 1824, and was named Harriet Mariah
Hubbard. Her father was Abijah Hubbard, the son of Captain Caleb Hubbard,
Jr. Caleb Hubbard, Sr. founded the town of Middleton through a land grant
from England. Captain CalebJr. served in the American Revolution to free
America frorn England's rule.
Harriet grew up in Middleton and New Haven, Connecticut. She was an only
child, and led a rather sheltered life. She had a good education and was a
modest, quiet, religious person. Like all New Englanders, she was a very
staunch and hardy person. She learned to sew and make all her own clothes,
and she learned to be self-sufficient. She could churn butter, bake bread and
do all the domestic things that a woman did i n those days. She only grew to
be five feet tall , but after she had married a man who was six feet tall , he
soon found out that'when it came to courage and fortitude, she was ten feet
tall.
When Harriet was twenty-three ymrs old, she met a Frenchman and the
following year she married him. His name was Pierre (Peter) Spang. Peter was
two years younger than Harriet, but because of his size he seemed older. He
was born and raised in Moselle (now Remeling), France. He was ral'sed to be a
farmer:aid .r;iigrateb to Canada and then eventually to New Haven','.-Cqpnecticut
where .hG'-wdnted to find a farm. Pierre found Harriet Instead and went Lo work
i n _ tng shipyards. After they were married they decided to go to the Florida
Everglades d i t h a group of Acadians from Canada. This group became known as
Cajuns when they rmrried the Indian natives of Florida. This venture did not
work out too well since they found the land they had expected to homestedd to
be nothing but s i m p land. Somehow, they managed to get back to New Haven,
but Peter could not find work and the dream of having a farm i n New England
seemed to fdde away. He went back to work at the shipyards.
Meanwhile gold had been discovered i n California. A t Harriet's urging,
Peter decided to seek h i s fortune i n California. He got a job on a' sailing
skip that was going to California, and sailed down around the Horn of South
knerica finally landing i n San Francisco. From there he went to Sonora where
the gold [nines were. He soon found out he was no miner, but he did stake a
clainl on a couple acres of Idnd. He decided he had better do what he knew how
t o do, so he started a l i t t l e farm on this land and sold his produce t m
miners.
idhen Peter left dew Haven, he and his wife had had two children, but one
of them had died when he was a year old. Also, when Peter left, they d i d n ' t
kriow that Harriet was pregnant. ' In 1851 they had a baby girl. The other.
child was a three year old boy.
Sy 1832 Peter had rnade enough money to send back to dew Haven for his wife
and cnildren to book passage on a ship for California. So Harriet boarded ti12
ship w i t h her two cnildren, but the s h i p only sailed to the Istimus of
Pandna. There was no canal on the Isthmus at that time, so the passengers had
to cross the Istnmus on a rtiule, Harriet carrying the baby, who was about a
year old by then. I t was a hot journey, and the area was infested with
mosquitoes. But Harriet was strong, and she and the children made it to the
West Coast i n pretty good shape. There she boarded another ship and sailed on
to San Francisco.
~l though she was of s ~ a l lst ature, and had led a rather she1 tered
childhood, she survived this ordeal and sailed into San Francisco Bay as happy
and excited as any hardy 01 d go1 d miner. Can you imagine how difficult that
would have been t o come all the bay from New Haven, alone w i t h her children.
San Francisco was a city of tents and not many houses. There MS one
hotel where they stayed overnight. The next day they got on a wagon and drove
on t o Sonora. Peter had built a small house for them. You would have thougilt
he hdd b u i l t a mansion for her, because when they arrived, Harriet stood up
and sirrveyed the nouse and farm dnd the countryside. She sdid, " ~ n , Pster,
t h i s is glorious! Do you know what I am going to do? I am going to start a
bodrdi ng house for t h e n~iners. You can take care of tne garden and the cow,
and we will get some chickens and 1'11 take care of thm. I' 11 cnurn our own
butter dnd bake bread."
I t a l l turned out to be a good venture for thew. k o i t a l l tlley hdd to
buy was flour for her to make bread and grain for the dni~nals and chickens.
They learned how to rob the nives of the wild bees for honey so they d i d n ' t
have to buy sugar. The miners didn't care too much for fancy desserts--they
would rati~erg o to the saloon and drink their dessert.
Harriet became a real pioneer. There were no schools so she began to
teach her children how to read and b i t e a t a very early age. By 18151 they
had six children, so you see they had been very busy!
14y grand~iother,~ ariah~moyenSep ang, was born i n Sonora, t h e 28th of
February i n 1858. When sne was born she was so tiny that Peter took one look
a t her and said, "Oh, look a t my l i t t l e fairy." So a l l her l i f e she was
called "Fairy." So this was my "Fairy grandmother."
Peter wis a tall', handsome, healthy wan. BuC he did not have the stamina
and driving ambition of tlarriet. In 1862 he told Harriet that he was tired of
this 1 ife and wanted t o go back East. He had hetird that h i s father had died
i n France, and he hoped that his father had left him the fam. When he got
there, he learned that his mother had sold the farm and remarried, so he lost
his inheritance. If it had been up t o Harriet, they would have lived i n
Cal ifornia for the rest of their 1i ves. But she urged -him to yo, saying she
was not ready yet. Besides, they did not have enough money for passage on the
ship for the entire family. She urged him to go and get a job on tne ship and
work his way back home. She safd she would stay and sell the farm and
boarding house, and sdve up unti 1 they could dl 1 afford to go back East.
How could he have gone and l e f t that sweet l i t t l e courageous wonan with
six children? The oldest was a boy of 13, and the youngest was a one-ymr-old
boy. But go he did!
Again, Harriet survived. I t took two years for iier to get everything
settled and enough money t o get them all back East. I t never occurred to her
to yet a divorce. She was a devout Cathol ic, and no r~latter what happened, you .
endured. In 1864 she and the children boarded a ship and sailed around South
America for dew Haven. .There was an epidemic of yellow fever on the ship, and
poor HarPiet got the fever. People were being buried a t sea all around her.
t4y yrancbiiother, Fairy, was six years old a t the tine. She told ue how
frightened she and all the other children were.. They thought they would lose
their mother. But again, Harriet was not ready to go yet, so she survived
this ordeal, too. She was determined to get her family all back together once
again. I am sure that God was watcning over her and her family.
I don't remember how long it took for thsis trip, but they must have
arrived before the yedr ms over, because in November of 1865 Harr-iet had
another child, a girl named Mary Jane Spang, born i n New Haven, Connecticut.
T h i s was her l a s t child.

Aug 25. 1979 - I remember Grandma Spang (Harriet Maria Hubbard Spang) very well, a dear kind person. She always raised a beautiful garden and no weeds. She always wore her little black lace cap. She pieced many quilts and I have one of them. Never threw away anything an inch square.
Helena Cash McMeese (granddaughter)
May 2, 1981 - I have the correct history of great grandfather Peter Spangs gold rush trip, It was give to me by great-grandma Spang personally and I wrote it down as she related the story. He came to California by way of the Horn and had a very rough voyage, then later grandma followed him with three children, Nicholas, Winslow, and Regina. She took grandpas advice and came by way of the Panama, first half of trip by train and second half by mule back. She contracted Panama fever and was very ill when she boarded the ship to come to San Francisco. The ship she was on became wrecked and all passengers were transferred to another ship. In spite of all the hazards she and all her children arrived safely. There lives were not easy, grandpa worked all the daylight hours panning for gold. She cooked and washed clothes for miners. He mined at China Town in Sonara, Calif. And other areas where gold was being discovered. You will note from your record that Wilford, Nicholas and Regina all born before 1852, where grandpa came to California and grandma followed in 1853. You will see the vacacharnt dates between 1951 and 1955 when Alban was born. (Editor Note: Should be 1851 and 1855.)
I do have a copy of great grandma with a cat on her shoulder taken within the year she passed away. I adored her, she was my friend, counciled and talked to me whenever I visited her. I was heart broken when she passed away. I cried even more when my mother died as I was ill with pneumonia at the time and on the verge of death mhself so all the grief hit me after I recovered. That December was one of the coldest in history in Wyoming.

The following is copied from ?The History of Frederick County, Maryland? by T.J.C. Williams and Folger McKinsey; and originally published in 1910. You will note the German spelling of Hershberger and the reference to Bernard being from Germany when, in fact, he was from Switzerland and he spelled his name Hersberger.
Bernard Hershberger, great-grandfather of Miss Elizabeth Dare, of Jefferson, Frederick County, Md., was a native of Germany and brought his wife and family with him when he came to America, but how many children he and, and what were their names, cannot be ascertained nor is it known whether they landed at New York or at Baltimore. It is certain, however, that they came in 1798, and they brought money with them, for it is stated that Bernard and his little son, Henry, had money in their belts. Bernard Hershberger bought 160 acres of land in what is now Frederick County, and on a part of this land the town of Jefferson was laid out by him, and called New Town. By Act of the Legislature, 1832, it was named Jefferson. His whole life was spent cultivating and improving the land which he had purchased. He owned a large number of slaves, but he could not believe that such a traffic or ownership was right and just; he therefore set all his slaves free some time before the war of 1812. Bernard Hershberger had several sons and four daughters, three of whom married men by the name of Kemp. There is an amusing story related concerning the marriage of one of the daughters. She was engaged to be married to a young man who lived in Baltimore. For some reason, however, Miss Hershberger changed her mind, and desired to remain mistress of herself. The distance to Baltimore was great, and means of
communication slow and uncertain. But no obstacles could daunt the determined lady. She mounted her horse, rode the long distance to Baltimore, found the young man, and secured the much desired release.
Bernard Hershberger gave one acre of land to be used as a cemetery, and after deeding a portion to each of his daughters, he left the remainder to his son, Henry.
Henry Hershberger, grandfather of Miss Elizabeth M. Dare, was a child only five years old when he came with his parents to America. He spent his life in improving and beautifying the land which he inherited from his father. If, as the old saying has it, that man is a public benefactor who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before, what do we not owe to the men who by their sacrifices and unceasing toil, have turned the frowning forest into a blooming garden.
Henry Hershberger was married to Catherine Remsberg who was then in her twenty-fifth year. Their children are: 1, John B., married Miss Wiles, died in Jefferson, Md., some time before 1872; 2, Mary, married first to George Herring, and after his death to Peter Boyer, her brother-in-law, the husband of her sister, Catherine, deceased, she died in Jefferson, aged eighty-three; 3, Henry, married Julia Scott, has twelve children, died at Broad Run, Frederick Co., Md.;4, Elizabeth (Mrs James Wiles), deceased; 5, Catherine (Mrs. Peter Boyer), died in Jefferson; 6, Thomas, moved to the West in early manhood, married Miss Dever; 7, Susan, married John Dare, father of Miss Elizabeth Dare of Jefferson, died aged eighty-three. Henry Hershberger built the second house in Jefferson, now the rear of a dwelling and store owned by R. L. Shaff. On this site Mr Hershberger had a wagon shop and a smithy which he afterwards rented to Mr. Bell
for twenty-five years. Henry Hershberger and his wife were devout members of the Reformed Church. After Mr Hershberger?s death, the Hershberger land passed into the hands of his widow, who lived at the homestead for twelve years. Three years after her death, it was divided among the heirs.
