Westmoreland Recorder, November 8, 1956
"The Spalding Family: Who Were The Pioneers? What Became of
Them?"
By Charles A. Scott (Obtained from Laura Spalding)
"As a youth, he came overland to Orange County, Ind., where i n
fell in with a settlement of Germans who also had come overland
from North Carolina, and married one of the German girls, Sarah
Myers. They continued to live in Orange County some 10 or 15
years. Born in Indiana? I presume th eir four sons were born in
Orange County."
"Ephraim and his family then moved to Knox County, Ill. In
fighting a forest fire in the new country, Ephraim lost his
life. His family then consisted of four sons, two daughters
had di ed young. Elisha Lathrop, Daniel, David, and William B.
David Spalding, the lame brother, went to Santa Barbara,
Calif., and lived out his days unmarried . . . . Elisha Lathrop
Spalding married Lucinda Brown of Knox County. Three children
were born to this union, Julia Ann, Mary, and Luther
Greathouse."
"The family record does not mention the dates the brothers moved
to Kansas [E lisha Lathrop, Daniel & William?], or whether they
came singly or in a group. " . . . . "In 1876 Elisha Lathrop
Spalding moved his family, livestock, and f arm equipment from
St. George to Russell County, Kans., where he filed on a
homestead claim of 160 acres as allowed veterans." . . . .
"Elisha Lathrop s palding and his wife, Margaret Wilson
Spalding, are buried in the Lucas, Kan. , cemetary.
". . . Daniel Spalding . . . his wife, and son John, lived in
the old stone schoolhouse by the spring, after it was vacated
