John A. Spaugy was born at Johnstown, Pa., February 6, 1865. In early manhood he came west to Fairfield, Iowa, where he met and married Mary L. Graber, and to them was born one son, Paul Graber Spaugy. The early years of their married life were spent in southern Iowa and in Missouri. In 1909 they moved to Postville, where Mr. Spaugy conducted a meat market until a year and a half ago, when failing health caused him to sell his business. During a long residence here Mr. Spaugy proved himself an honest and upright man and good citizen, and many friends will learn of his passing with sorrow and sincerely sympathize with the wife and son who survive him. The funeral was held from the Community Presbyterian church in this city at 2:30 last Saturday afternoon, Rev. R.F. Galloway officiating. Interment in the Postville cemetery
