SPANGLER, MILTON WILLIAM
(5 May 1927, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Milton William Spangler was born in Adair county, Iowa, October 2, 1870,
and departed this life at Elk City, Oklahoma, April 24, 1927, being
fifty-six years, six months and 18 days of age.  He grew to manhood in his
native state, coming to Oklahoma in 1900 and locating on a homestead near
Elk City.  Mr. Spangler was one of the early settlers of this part of the
comparatively new country.  In 1905 he moved to his late home four miles
northeast of Canute (Washita County), where he has since resided.
He was united in marriage to Miss Alto Leach of near Foss, Okla., on
February 25, 1902.  To this union was born three children, two sons and
one daughter.  The oldest son, Ray Milton, preceded his father in death
about four years.  The other son, Glen Arvin and the daughter, Mildred
Ethel, with his wife, survive him, and were present at his bedside when he
passed away.
Mr. Spangler was converted during a revival meeting held at the old
Prairie Ridge School House, in 1902, and later united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church at Elk City.  He left a definite testimony during his
last illness that he was ready and willing to go, and that all was well.
As a citizen, Christian and father and husband he ever stood for that
which was righteous, just, upright and clean and his influence in these
things has been clearly recognizable and must be greatly appreciated by
all who knew him.
He leaves his wife, two children, five brothers, three sisters and other
relatives with many friends and neighbors to mourn his loss.
Mr. Spangler had followed the occupation of a farmer all his life, at
which he was quite successful, as his fine farm and comfortable
conveniences will testify.
