11. | SPANG, George Ashbell (4.Margaret2, 1.Thomas1) was born 02 Jun 1868, Crooked Creek, Armstrong Co. PA; died 22 Jan 1935. Notes:
20th Century History of Butler and Butler Co. Pa. and
Representative Citizens Edited and Compiled by James A McKee Butler,
Pa.
George A. Spang, who is treasurer and manager of the Spang Co. at Butler,
where the main plant is situated, having branch shops at other points, is
a leading business man of this city where he has resided for the past
thirty-five years. He was born in 1868, in Armstrong County,Pa. His
father was the late J.R. Spang. George A. Spang was a child when his
parents moved to Butler and he obtained his education in the Butler
Schools. He was but a boy, however, when the burden of his own support
fell upon him and he began his earning of money by driving a dray. Later
he went to Pittsburg where he learned the Machinist trade with the firm
of Swain & Angel, remaining for three years and then returned to Butler.
About this time he suffered an injury to his eyes and was obliged to
give up working at his trade for 2 1/2 years, during this period finding
employment in the Klingler mills. By that time his eyes had sufficiently
been strengthened so that he could resume work as a machinist and in
1894, although he had not a dollar of capital, he determined to go into
business for himself and depend upon his skill and in-industry to bring
him custom and success. He secured a machine shop in the old Cuthbert
Building, on the same place where his commodious shops, with all their
expensive machinery are situated, but in six weeks time he found a better
business opening at Glade Mills. He remained there for three and
one-half years and then resided for the same length of time at Renfrew,
after which he came back to Butler. He first leased his present property
and later purchased it. In 1901, The Spang Co. was established, and in
1908 the business was incorporated with J. F. Anderson as president and
George A. Spang as treasurer and manager. In the same year the company
put up a fine reinforced concrete building with dimensions of 62 by 122
feet, divied into two stores. Mr. Spang has about 100 men in his employ
and has the superintendence of all of the business. In August, 1904, a
branch shop was started in Coffeyville, Kansas, in the Kansas oil fields,
and in May, 1908 another shop was established at Tulsa, Oklahoma, both of
them being still in operation, and all the property on which the plants
are located are owned by the Spang Co. This company manufactures all
kinds of oil well supplies and makes a specialty of oil well packing. In
1890, Mr Spang was married to Miss Laura A. Brandon, of Butler and have
five children: Lillian, Ferdinand, Loyal, Mildred and Everett. With his
family, Mr. Spang belongs to the Second Presbyterian Church of Bulter.
He is a Knight Templar Mason and a member of the Mystic Shrine. In
recalling the events of this successful and representative man, it will
be observed that he has prospered on account of his own efforts,
independent of any assistance, and he may well be proud, when he recalls
how he has overcome the various handicaps of his early manhood. He is
one of Butler's most respected Citizens.
