OLD ARTIST WEDS HIS FORMER PUPIL
--------------------------------
William Spang, Portrait Painter, and Miss Adelaide Paris are Quietly Married
-------------------------------------
The news of the wedding on Saturday afternoon of William Spang, the 71-year-old portrait painter, and his former pupil, Miss Adelaide Paris, leaked out yesterday. Although it was known that the two intended to marry, the wedding came as a surprise, as it was thought that it would not occur until later.
The wedding is the culmination of a romance begun in Mr. Spang's studio while Miss Paris was a pupil. He was smitten by her charms, but did not propose until several years afterwards. The bride, who is a daughter of the late Leopold Luigi Paris, of Rome, is 41 years old.
The wedding occurred at the home of Miss Paris, at 233 North Twentieth street. Rev. George Gunning, rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Eighth and Spruce streets, married the couple. They left for a short trip to the South.

Notes:

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
