Spalding Died Sunday Morning Mrs. Julia Lawrence Spalding, wife of the late Albert T. Spalding, died early Sunday morning. Her death followed closely that of her husband, who died on August 4. She had long been an invalid, but was apparently as well as usual until the day before her death. Mrs. Spalding was born January 27, 1865, in Quincy, Ill. She was the daughter of Benjamin F. Smith, of Charleston, S.C. and was married to Albert T. Spalding, Jr., in Galveston, Texas in April, 1885. They lived in Galveston, Houston, New Orleans and Atlanta. Her husband was the oldest son of Dr. Albert Theodore Spalding, who at the time of his death was secretary of the Spalding Foundry company. Mrs. Spalding was the niece of the eminent scientist, J. Lawrence Smith, of Louisville, who, with his wife, founded and endowed the Baptist Orphans’ Home of Louisville. Mrs. Spalding was a woman of unusually gifted mind and a beautiful gentleness of spirit that brought blessing to many people. She had been for many years a member of the Ponce de Leon Baptist church. Funeral services will be conducted from the chapel of H.M. Patterson & Son this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Dr. Ashby Jones will officiate. The following will act as pallbearers: William T. Spalding, John S. Spalding, Hilliard Spalding, Fred Geissler, T.B. French and Clarence May. Additional Comments: Transcriber's note: I'm not related to or researching the Spalding family.
