| Notes |
- Samuel K. Spang, son of Jacob K. and Sarah (Kauffman) Spang, was born at Hamburg, Pa., Jan. 14, 1868. He was educated in the schools of Reading, including a business course in the Interstate Commercial College, and upon finishing his preparation, assisted his father for six years as clerk, etc., in the business of manufacturing charcoal iron at Lenhartsville, Berks county, where his father conducted an old-established iron works. In November, 1891, he became a clerk in the office of the Reading Trust Company, and after filling this position very satisfactorily until December, 1903, the directors selected him as treasurer of the company, which responsible position he has held since.
Mr. Spang was married in 1900, to Ella Rick, daughter of Cyrus Rick, who was for many years cashier of the Farmers' National Bank of Reading. They have three children: Emily R., Mary R, and Charles R. Mr. Spang is a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading. He has officiated as secretary of the congregation for four years.
His great-grandfather, Frederick Spang, was a prominent iron manufacturer in Oley township before 1800, having then become the owner of the Oley Forge along Manatawny Creek, and operated it very successfully until his death. He was succeeded by his son, Jacob K. Spang. For many years the plant was known as the "Spang Forge," and the settlement came to be called Spangville.
