DR. W. H. SPANGLER was born in York County, Penn., in 1856, and is the third of 
seven children of David and Louisa (Melsheimer) Spangler, of York County, and of 
Dutch descent.  Until he was twelve years of age he remained on the farm, but 
after that he commenced looking out for himself.  He began the study of 
veterinary surgery, when he was twenty-one years of age, under a German graduate 
– Dr. Joseph Keiser, of York, and remained under his instruction for four years.  
He then went to Urbana, Ohio, where he opened an office, and remained there one 
year and a half.  He then went to Minnesota, and located in St. Paul, where he 
remained for a short time and then came to Lewisberry, where he has since been 
doing a good business, and has been very successful.  With the help of his father 
he is now very comfortably situated.  In politics he is a Republican.
