EDWIN A. SPANGLER.

   Dealing in general merchandise, Edwin A. Spangler represents one of the
substantial business enterprises of Deer Creek, where he has, through upright
and straightforward dealings, placed himself beyond the pale of anxious concern
in regard to his financial success. His long years of experience in his vocation
have given him a valuable understanding of the worth of each line handled in his
well-stocked store, where his customers are served with courteous promptness.

   Edwin A. Spangler, general merchant, Deer Creek, Carroll county, was born May
20, 1872, in Washington township, and is a son of Henry and Naomi (Schaff)
Spangler. He received a good education at the public and high schools, after
which he entered Indiana University, where he took a scientific course, covering
a period of two years. After finishing his education, Mr. Spangler taught school
for two years, and then engaged in his present business. Politically, he is a
Republican, while his religious membership is with the Lutheran church, of which
he officiates as one of the trustees. Fraternally, he belongs to the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, Morse Lodge No. 477, at Deer Creek.

   Henry Spangler, the father of Edwin A., was born in Butler county, Ohio,
spending his youth on a farm, and was married prior to coming to Carroll county,
Indiana, to which union four children were born, Mary, Lydia, Eliza and John.
Mary, deceased, became the second wife of S. P. Zeck; Lydia died in young
womanhood; Eliza was the first wife of S. P. Zeck, and John died when a young
man. Henry Spangler was married, secondly, to Naomi Schaff, and Edwin A.
Spangler was the only child born to this union. Henry Spangler died when Edwin
A. was but three years old, and Mrs. Spangler spent the remainder of her life in
Deer Creek.

   Edwin A. Spangler was united in marriage on April I, 1906, to Lillie Clark,
daughter of Matthew I. and Lavina (Tinkle) Clark. She was born on October 2,
1880, in Democrat township, Carroll county, Indiana. Four children have been
born to this union: Charles C., now in his eighth year and a student of the
public school; Donavan, who is four years old; Arthur, who is in his third year,
and Frieda Ruth, who is in her first year.

   Mr. Spangler was originally associated in the mercantile business under the
firm name of Spangler & Lenon, which was changed at the end of three years to
the partnership name of Spangler & Jones, under which the business is carried on
at present, and which, through careful attention to every detail, is a
representative business of Deer Creek.
