| Notes |
- The Township of Spang, Minnesota is named after Matthew A. Spang who was a county auditor in Itasca County
Minnesota History and Biography, 1915 "Minnesota: Its Story and Biography, Vol. 2" History of Minnesota-Biographical page 280 of 687
"For five successive terms, Mathew Spang has been elected auditor of Itasca County. Perhaps no citizen is better known and more highly esteemed in that section of Minnesota. His has been a career of progressive enterprise and accomplishment. A number of years ago he was a log scaler in the woods of Northern Minnesota, and in every relation of life, whether in private business or public office, has been true to the trusts reposed in him.
Mathew A. Spang was born in the province of Ontario, Canada February 19, 1874. His parents were Anthony and Mary (Jennings) Spang, farming people of Ontario. For an education he depended upon the country schools, and had a high school course and also a course in a commercial college. For three years after coming to Minnesota in 1893 he taught school, and was a bookkeeper for a similar period. From 1898 until 1902 Mr. Spang was engaged in the active outdoor work of log scaler, and in the latter year became deputy sheriff of Itasca County, an office he filled until 1904. Then began his long service of ten years in the office of county auditor, being elected in 1904, and at each successive biennial election to the present time, serving now his fifth term. Mr. Spang is also half owner of the sawmill of Spang & Hollihan in Grand Rapids.
ON June 29, 1909 Mr. Spang married Nora Scollard of Ontario, Canada. They have three children: Anthony Jennings and James Scollard are twins, and Lawrence William. "[anthmath.FTW]
