*Monroe Commercial, May 4, 1883

Mrs. Isabella Spalding who was stricken with paralysis last week, died at one o'clock A.M. last Friday, at the residence of her son General George Spalding. Mrs. Spalding was born in April 1803, in Scotland, (her maiden name being Isabella Morris) where she spent the first forty years of her life. She was married to Andrew Spalding, also a native of Scotland, and where also, all their children were born. They came to America in 1848, and to Monroe in 1853, where Mrs. Spalding has lived until her death. Six of their children grew to manhood five of whom are still living - Andrew and William of Petersburg, in this county, Mrs. S. Hume, at Buffalo, New York, and George and Mrs. Vivian, at Monroe. James S. who with his brother George served through the whole of the war, died in 1877. Mrs. Spalding had a wide circle of aquaintances in this city, and by all was known as a thoroughly good christian woman, and there are not a few outside the circle of her family who will mourn her loss. The funeral was largely attended Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church. Rev. Mr. Macomber conducting the service, assisted by Dr. Mattoon.
