    Inscription
    His Wife
    Raymond C. Spang
    In Ansonia, Conn., Raymond C. Spang, maniac depressive, returned home to his wife and four children after escaping from a New York veterans' hospital. To celebrate the reunion he took them on a picnic to West Rock, 400-ft. precipice near New Haven. Small boys playing baseball below saw Maniac Spang lift up his son Donald, 4, pitch him over the cliff, disappear, reappear, toss down his remaining children?Helen, Lorraine, Raymond. Maniac Spang then grappled with his wife, kicked her over too. After firemen had chased and tried to reason with him, Maniac Spang poised on a ledge, lifted his arms, gracefully dived off to join his dying family.

    LONG ILLNESS PROVES FATAL TO CAPT. SPANG

    Veteran City Fire Fighter to be laid to rest On Monday Morning.

    Died 14 (or 18) November 1931
    Born 20 January 1849

    Connected with the New Haven Fire Department since 1868 when he became attached to the service
    as a call man, with a salary amounting to $100 a year, Captain Wilfred F. Spang died at his home
    in 422 Second Avenue, West Haven last night after an illness of 16 weeks.

    Funeral services will be held from the parlors of M. F. Walker and Son, in 1201 Chapel Street, at
    8:30 o?clock on Monday morning. A solemn requiem mass will be celebrated in St. Lawrence
    Church at 9 o?clock. Burial will be in the family plot in St. Lawrence Cemetery.

    Native of City
    Captain Spang was born in this city in 1849 and then went with his family to California at the age
    of five. While still a young man he returned to New Haven and found employment with Grilley
    Screw Manufacturing Co., serving as call man with the Fire Department.

    While serving as a call man, he was privileged to leave his work in the Grilley concern when ever
    there was a fire. In the early days of his fire service apparatus was drawn by hand and not until 1875
    did horse drawn apparatus make its first spectacular dash thru the city streets. When horse drawn
    engines were first introduced, residents of the city were constantly fearful lest the high speeds result
    in tragedy for firemen and pedestrians alike.

    Captain Spang has often related interesting experiences of those early days of fire fighting to his
    many acquaintances. It was a time when horses were left standing with harness in place over night
    and boxes were used to stand on in order to facilitate the adjusting of the bridle. The whine of the
    warning siren was unknown and the ringing of bells in the tower of the City Hall and in Goffe Street
    gave notice that a fire had broken out.

    He could recall famous conflagrations including the Sperry and Barnes fire in 1877; the Rubber Shop
    fire in 1876; the fire at St. Patricks Church in 1875; the fire at Wooster Square in 1874; and the
    Mendell and Freeman fire in 1920. Although he figured prominently in fighting many of these
    blazes, he never was involved in a serious accident while on duty. His record with the department
    is as follows: call man, August 4, 1868; resigned, January 1, 1871; call man, January 1, 1872;
    fireman, November 12, 1882; permanent captain, August 2, 1892; transferred to various Companys
    and finally retired on August 1,1922

    Besides his widow, Elizabeth O?Connor Spang, he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. F. Endress,
    Mrs. J. Willon (?), Mrs. Palmer of Michigan; two sons, Winslow and Alfonzo Spang, and one sister,
    Mrs. Bogue.
