FatherDavid Palmer Spangler2,3 b. September 16, 1801, d. April 22, 1856
MotherPermelia "Amelia" Boothe2,1,3,4 b. April 22, 1817, d. January 10, 1889
     Henderson Amstead Spangler was buried at Spangler-Lampey Cemetery, off Rt. 221 (North Hale road 1600-1700 block), north of Floyd, Floyd Co., Virginia.5,6 He was born on August 10, 1849 at Floyd Co., Virginia.2,6,1,3 He married Lydia Margaret Conner, daughter of Jacob Poff Conner and Levicy Tabitha "Lavica" Wilson, on September 1, 1870 at Floyd Co., Virginia.2,3,1,7 Henderson Amstead Spangler died on June 13, 1928 at Floyd Co., Virginia, at age 78.2,6,1 He On the 13th day of June, 1928, the death angel came and claimed for it's victim my dear husband, Henderson Armstead Spangler. He was born in Floyd county Va., on the 10th day of Aug., 1849, making his stay 78 years, ten months, and 3 days. His father was David Spangler, his mother was Amelia Boothe, and he was married to Lydia M. Conner, in 1870. He was the father of 10 children. Those surviving are; Mrs. Amos Martin, Mrs. Archie Sowers, Mrs. Andy Martin, Mrs. Roscoe Lampey, Mrs. Noah Moore, and one son Jacob Spangler, all of Floyd county, Va. Those preceeding him to the grave are Mary Ellen Martin, Nancy Maude Blackwell, Noah C. Spangler, and Matthew Spangler.
He was an excellent provider for his family, a loving husband, kind and tender father, loyal citizen and always met you with a smile until he lost his mind which was about 21 years ago. He joined the Primitive Baptist church in 1903. We may feel that he is in the paradise of God and and out of his miserable affliction as he seemed to weary very much about his condition, but he will be missed by all.
On the evening of the 13th, ther was an electric storm. He was standing in the door just after the storm. I passed him and he asked me where I had been. I told him I had been lying on the bed. I then went out in the yard, had been there but a short time until I heard him groaning. I went as quick as I could to him, found him lying on the floor. I had no one to aid me, so I rang the dinner bell for our son, Jacob who called on the telephone for help. Then I put a pillow under his head and gave him a dose of painking. Just then Jacob came in and we lay him on the bed. He was wet from perspiration with hand and feet cold. We tryed to warm them but could not get them warm. He called for water and something to eat. He drank some water and coffee but would not eat anything else. We thought he was better and so we went to bed. Then about two o'clock, he made several groans and was gone.
On the next day the funeral was preached and he was layed to rest in the family burial grounds on the place amidst a host of relatives and friends.
Written by his loving wife, Lydia M. Spangler on July 12, 1928.1
