Husband of Isabella Morris, father of six children; General George Spalding, Andrew, James, William, Mrs. Hume, and Mrs. Vivian.
*Monroe Commercial, Sept. 6, 1877
DIED:
At the residence of his son Andrew, in Petersburg, on the 1st, inst., Andrew Spalding Esq., in the 88th year of his life.*
The late Andrew Spalding was born in Scotland in 1790, and came to this country with his wife and family in 1848. His first residence was at Buffalo, in the state of New York. During his stay in that city he was a constant attendant upon the ministry of Rev. Dr. Lord. He became a communicate of the Presbyterian Church over which Dr. Lord was pastor for more than one-third of a century. Mr. Spalding never withdrew his connections from this church. To his mind there appeared satisfactory reasons for the course pursued. The most cogent reason was found in his religious convictions and beliefs. They were all of Scotland type.
Coming to this country at a time when divisions were taking place in the largest church organizations in the land, it was sensible that he should seek a home in that body most in sympathy with his religious convictions and doctrinal predilections. He knew what he believed, and "in whom he believed," and no extraneous considerations could move him.
In 1853, Andrew Spalding moved to Monroe, Michigan, where he has continued to reside till the time of his death. His aged companion still lives, and was able, with all her surviving children - four sons and two daughters - to follow the remains of her venerated husband to their long rest in the burial ground in Monroe.
It can in truth, be said that Mr. Spalding, was an honest man, a kind husband, fond father, and a good citizen.
He loved his adopted country; and when the times demanded, gave his sons to all the dread uncertainties of war for her defense. General George Spalding and his brother James of this city, were of the sons of this aged man, and may they long live to cherish his memory and revere his name. (condensed by Lo Marie)
