DR. W. H. SPANGLER, a native of Warrington Township, York Co., Penn., was born August 18, 1832, 
and is a son of Daniel and Mary C. (Hobaugh) Spangler, natives of York County, Penn.  His 
grandfather, Spangler, also a native of York County, was a farmer, as was also the father of 
our subject, who had ten children:  David, Samuel, Elijah, Daniel, William, Jacob, Henry, Mary, 
Lydia and Nathan.  Our subject remained at home and worked on the farm until his twentieth 
years, when he attended the York County Academy for one year, and then for two years clerked in 
a store.  He subsequently engaged in the mercantile business for himself, which he continued 
for seven years, and then took up the study of dentistry under Dr. Bricker.  In 1867 Dr. 
Spangler settled where he now resides, and has since continued the practice of his profession.  
He was married, in 1865, to Miss Gulielma Vale.  They have one child – Alberta May.  Dr. 
Spangler is a member of the Reformed Church and Mrs. Spangler is a Methodist.
