Atlas of Steuben County, Indiana 1880 P. 52 clm 2  Jackson Township     

        Spangle, Henry, is a native of New york, son of Henry and Mary 
Spangle, and was born March 8, 1821.  He removed to Ohio with his 
parents at an early age, and lived there until 1844, when he came to 
Indiana with is father.  He returned to Ohio, but came back soon after 
and settled down to farming.  He was married, in Jackson Township, to 
miss Mary Coy, by Esquire Sawyer, in 1846.  By her he had one child-
Emeline. Again, in 1851, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Alcott, and 
for his third wife, married Miss Sarah Metzer, of Branch County, 
Michigan., on September 25, 1873.  Their children are Carrie and Clyde.  
Mr. Spangle, when he came to Steuben County, settled down to the task of 
making a home for himself, and that he has succeeded is obvious to all 
who have seen his present handsome residence.  He is also the possessor 
of 336 acres of good land--all the fruit of his labor and exertions.  In 
the selections of his wifes he has been very fortunate, the former Mrs. 
Spangles both being praiseworthy women, and his present wife an 
excellent companion and mother.  Though limited in means for acquiring 
an education, he has excellent judgment, and is considered a strictly 
honest man.  He and his wife are both members of the United Brethren 
Church.  Politically, he is a Democrat.  In looking over Mr. Spangle's 
life, it may be truly said that he has well lived, and surrounded as he 
is with a pleasant home circle, it can well be hoped that he may have 
many years of enjoyment and usefulness left.
