SALLY HUNTER TROLINGER Sally Hunter Trolinger, an early San Angelo native, died at her home in San Angelo on Sunday, Dec. 17, 2000. She had been suffering from a lingering illness for the past few years. Memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 14, at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church with the Rev. John Loving officiating. Mrs. Trolinger, daughter of Mary Bland (Millspaugh) and Dwight Lemoine Hunter, was born March 4, 1909, and she attended San Angelo public schools and graduated with the class of 1925. She went from high school to the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Pa., and later attended the University of Texas for two years followed by a year in New York City at the New York School of Fine Arts and Parsons Applied Arts. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. In 1931, she married Ralph Trolinger of Amarillo, who died several years ago. He founded the Culligan Soft Water franchise in this city. She outlived her son, John Hunter Trolinger, by four years. Her two grandchildren, John Boyd Trolinger of Chico, Calif., a professor at California State University, and Andrie Trolinger Cantu of Austin survive her, also her brother, Dwight L. Hunter Jr. of Dallas. Her cousins include Austin Cunningham Millspaugh and Ford Millspaugh Boulware, both of San Angelo, and Louise Develin Blanchard of Dallas. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews and old San Angelo families - Findlaters, Westbrooks, Schneemans, Sheppersons, Tweedys and Will Jones. She was a member of the 20th Century Woman's Club, founded 100 years ago. She was also a sustaining member of the San Angelo Junior League. Mrs. Trolinger was the eldest granddaughter of James Louis Millspaugh, who arrived in the tiny village of San Angelo with four wooden shacks, nondescript huts, plus saloons and brothels in 1871. She also, on her maternal side, was the granddaughter of Robert Bland Sanderson, a native of England. The Sandersons stayed for a few years in Cambria, Wis., and came by wagon in 1875 to San Angelo. Robert Sanderson was the first president of the San Angelo National Bank. James Millspaugh was elected one of the commissioners when Tom Green County was organized in 1874. He served as justice of the peace and also was appointed postmaster at Fort Concho in 1875. In the laying out of the townsite of San Angelo, Mr. Millspaugh held out and insisted on the broad streets, which we are enjoying today. Only a great vision of the city that was to be could foresee the necessity of the hundred foot avenues, for then only the post office and a few frame huts along the river constituted the town. Other cities are now faced with this problem of modern traffic, spending thousands and thousands of dollars widening their streets. Through Mr. Millspaugh's foresight and vision, San Angelo has been saved this expenditure and tax dollar drain. He was also instrumental in the bringing of the Santa Fe's railroad here. He was one of the original subscribers to the capital stock to the San Angelo National Bank, organized in 1884, and elected a member of its first board of directors. In 1884, he built and operated the first ice factory here. In 1885, he organized and operated the Water Company. He also consolidated the Light Company with the Water Company. Millspaugh also was active in efforts to preserve the old fort reservation. He pleaded through columns of the Standard for the citizens of San Angelo to at least save the parade grounds as a park, but at that time the majority of San Angeloans did not foresee the importance of Fort Concho as a military post and its eventual heritage. They could not visualize it as a monument and drawing card for tourism.

Lilly loved her grandchildren with all her heart. They were her joy. She supported them in their every activity. She would try to do whatever her grandchildren asked of her. It was her attitude to never be too old to try anything with her grandchildren. She even went helicopter flying with her grandson in her later years. She was an accomplished seamstress. In her later years, she loved crocheting and quilting. The evidence of her love can be seen in all the homes of her family and many friends. She also loved to grow flowers and other plants. If anything was green she tried to give it life. Lilly was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; two grandsons, Mike and Loren Snelgrove; her brothers, Bill and Henry Feil; and her sister, Hertha Barnes.

Lilly was always a kind, caring and loving lady. She always tried to instill in her family you always try to take care of your family and always do your best. She would never tolerate the word cant from her daughters. She supported her daughters in all their endeavors and she taught them to shoot for the stars. She was a Baptist.

CATHERINE HARRIS SPENCE Catherine Harris Spence died Friday, Jan. 12, 2001, after a brief illness. She was born Mary Catherine Davis, daughter of Willie Susan Nichols and John Edward Hill Davis in Blum on Oct. 29, 1907. During her long, full and productive life, Catherine had many accomplishments. During her young life she was a milliner, managing hat shops in Amarillo, Fort Worth and Waco. In 1935 she moved with her husband, Al C. Harris, to San Angelo, where he was manager of the J.C. Penney Store; and it was here they began their family. They were both active in many civic organizations and community affairs. They also became devoted members of the First Baptist Church. In 1959 Catherine founded the Gingerbread House Preschool and Kindergarten. She was its inspired director for more than 20 years, nurturing generations of young children with her firm guidance and her loving spirit. In 1983 she moved the school to its present location on Austin Street and subsequently sold it. In the last years, Catherine has been active in the San Angelo Symphony Guild, the Leading Ladies of San Angelo, and has been a leader of the Elizabeth Class of the First Baptist Church. Catherine was predeceased by her loving husband of 48 years, Al Harris. She is survived by her husband of seven years, George B. Spence, Eldorado rancher; and by her daughters and their husbands, Sue and Ray Bennett of Austin and Jo-Al and John Donovan of Galveston. They cherish the memories of their beautiful and spirited mother. She also is survived by seven grandchildren and their families, David and Ann Bennett; Jonathan and Jennifer of La Plata, Md.; Dr. Brian and Nancy Bennett, David, Diana, Christina and Anna of Red Bank, N.J.; Karen Bennet and Greg Tamayo, Joshua, Aaron, Benjamin and Andrew of Marietta, Ga.; Charles and Kate Bennett, Nicholas, Joseph and Daniel, of Austin; Mark Donovan of Albuquerque, N.M.; Harris and Leslie Donovan of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; and Tom and Kristine Donovan of Prescott, Ariz. She also is survived by her longtime, faithful friends, Wanda and Elmo Hudson; and by her caring helper, Alejandrina Garcia, all of San Angelo. Her lively faith, her high spiritedness and her positive attitude where examples to them all. Catherine was a loving and thoughtful friend and a gracious hostess. She loved beauty, she enjoyed traveling and she especially delighted in her home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where she spent some of her happiest times. She loved her Lord, and she loved people. She was a blessing to all who knew her. The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 14, at Johnsons Funeral Home. Service will be at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 15, in the First Baptist Church chapel with her son-in-law, the Rev. John C.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons and Elmo Hudson. The family requests that memorials may be made to the San Angelo Symphony, VistaCare Family Hospice, the First Baptist Church Building Fund or the charity of choice. SALLY HUNTER TROLINGER Sally Hunter Trolinger, an early San Angelo native, died at her home in San Angelo on Sunday, Dec. 17, 2000. She had been suffering from a lingering illness for the past few years. Memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 14, at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church with the Rev. John Loving officiating. Mrs. Trolinger, daughter of Mary Bland (Millspaugh) and Dwight Lemoine Hunter, was born March 4, 1909, and she attended San Angelo public schools and graduated with the class of 1925. She went from high school to the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Pa., and later attended the University of Texas for two years followed by a year in New York City at the New York School of Fine Arts and Parsons Applied Arts. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. In 1931, she married Ralph Trolinger of Amarillo, who died several years ago. He founded the Culligan Soft Water franchise in this city. She outlived her son, John Hunter Trolinger, by four years. Her two grandchildren, John Boyd Trolinger of Chico, Calif., a professor at California State University, and Andrie Trolinger Cantu of Austin survive her, also her brother, Dwight L. Hunter Jr. of Dallas. Her cousins include Austin Cunningham Millspaugh and Ford Millspaugh Boulware, both of San Angelo, and Louise Develin Blanchard of Dallas. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews and old San Angelo families Findlaters, Westbrooks, Schneemans, Sheppersons, Tweedys and Will Jones. She was a member of the 20th Century Womans Club, founded 100 years ago. She was also a sustaining member of the San Angelo Junior League. Mrs. Trolinger was the eldest granddaughter of James Louis Millspaugh, who arrived in the tiny village of San Angelo with four wooden shacks, nondescript huts, plus saloons and brothels in 1871. She also, on her maternal side, was the granddaughter of Robert Bland Sanderson, a native of England. The Sandersons stayed for a few years in Cambria, Wis., and came by wagon in 1875 to San Angelo. Robert Sanderson was the first president of the San Angelo National Bank. James Millspaugh was elected one of the commissioners when Tom Green County was organized in 1874. He served as justice of the peace and also was appointed postmaster at Fort Concho in 1875. In the laying out of the townsite of San Angelo, Mr. Millspaugh held out and insisted on the broad streets, which we are enjoying today. Only a great vision of the city that was to be could foresee the necessity of the hundred foot avenues, for then only the post office and a few frame huts along the river constituted the town. Other cities are now with this problem of modern traffic, spending thousands and thousands of dollars widening their streets. Through Mr. Millspaughs foresight and vision, San Angelo has been saved this expenditure and tax dollar drain. He was also instrumental in the bringing of the Santa Fes railroad here. He was one of the original subscribers to the capital stock to the San Angelo National Bank, organized in 1884, and elected a member of its first board of directors. In 1884, he built and operated the first ice factory here. In 1885, he organized and operated the Water Company. He also consolidated the Light Company with the Water Company. Millspaugh also was active in efforts to preserve the old fort reservation. He pleaded through columns of the Standard for the citizens of San Angelo to at least save the parade grounds as a park, but at that time the majority of San Angeloans did not foresee the importance of Fort Concho as a military post and its eventual heritage. They could not visualize it as a monument and drawing card for tourism. ROBERT RIOS Robert Rios, 54, of Seguin and formerly of San Angelo, passed away Thursday, Jan. 11, 2001, in Seguin.
