Joseph Spangler. An example of well-applied industry is found in the handsome and highly cultivated farm of 165 acres in Spring Creek township which is the property of Joseph Spangler. Mr. Spangler, who is one of the substantial citizens of his locality, was born in Miami county, a son of Leopold and Christina (Schuler) Spangler. Leopold Spangler, who spent many years in agricultural pursuits in Miami county, died several years ago, greatly respected by all who knew him. There were five children in the family: Joseph, John, William, Frank and Mrs. Mary Schaefer. A son of John Spangler, Clarence, served in France during the recent World war. Joseph Spangler was educated in the district schools and passed his boyhood and youth on the home farm. He early adopted agriculture as his life vocation, and at the present time is the owner and operator of a well-improved and highly cultivated farm of 165 acres in Spring Creek township. Good buildings and modern improvements evidence his progressive spirit and industry, and his standing in his community is that of a dependable and public-spirited citizen. Mr. Spangler married Miss Minnie Schlosser, a daughter of John and Gertrude (Wegener) Schlosser, highly respected citizens of Piqua, now deceased, and they are the parents of three children: Joseph, Gertrude and Elizabeth, a graduate of Piqua High School, class of 1921, at home.
