   SAMUEL SPITLER, retired farmer, Van Buren, was born in Fairfield County,
Ohio, September 5, 1813, youngest child of John and Susanna (Buswell) Spitler,
both natives of Virginia, who settled in Fairfield County, Ohio, in a very early
day. Their family consisted of ten children, eight of whom lived to maturity,
but our subject is now the only survivor. Samuel Spitler resided in his native
county until after his marriage, when he moved to Crawford County, Ohio, where
he remained eight years; then, in 1840, came to this county, where he has
remained since. He has been engaged principally in agricultural pursuits, and
owns a farm of 320 acres of land in Allen Township, this county, and is one of
the substantial citizens of the county. He served his county two terms (from
1863 to 1867) as treasurer, with credit to himself and satisfaction to his
constituents; during this time he resided in Findlay. Samuel Spitler married,
April 18, 1832, in Fairfield County, Ohio, Miss Anna Bretz, a daughter of Conrad
and Susanna (Foreman) Bretz. Mr. Bretz served in the war of 1812. Mr. and Mrs.
Spitler are the parents of ten children, eight of whom survive: Israel (married
to Miss Jane Bushong), Noah (united in marriage, the first time with Sarah
Loehr, and after her death, with Susa Hegerman), Eli (married to Miss
Ensminger), Lucinda (wife of Paul Bryan), Cass W. (married to Benia Pingle),
Samuel B. married to Nettie Poe), John H. (married to Irena Taylor) and Stephen
D. (married to Lucy Rader). The deceased are Susannah E. and Conrad. In politics
Mr. Spitler has always been a Democrat. Our subject and wife, Mr. and Mrs.
Israel Spitler, Mrs. Lucinda Bryan, and Mr. and Mrs. Cass W. Spitler, all belong
to the Primitive Baptist Church, called the Van Buren Church.
