Blanch Mabel Cantonwine was the daughter of David and Eliza (Elson) Cantonwine, the granddaughter of Michael and Catherine (Myers/Myres) Cantonwine, and the great-granddaughter of Charles and Mary Magdalena (Scholl) Cantonwine.
Charles, the patriarch of the Cantonwine family, immigrated to America from Prussia in 1806, arriving in Philadelphia, Penn., aboard the ship Orlando. The ship's passenger list shows "Chr. Kuntentwine, single man." The name Kuntentwine later evolved to Cantonwine, and Charles appears to be the only surnamed Kuntenwine/Cantonwine to immigrate to America. Eight or so years after his arrival in Philadelphia, in about 1814, Charles married Mary Magdalena Scholl, daughter of Charles Jacob & Margaret (Fuhr) Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania.
Blanch married John W. "Will" Spicer on February 4, 1908 in Greeley, Weld county, CO. John, SGT GS INF, fought with the U.S. Army in World War I and died during that war on April 9, 1917. He was buried in Fort George Wright Cemetery in Washington state. Blanch never remarried.
