Llewellyn Quint Spaulding
born Sep 7, 1860

Dr. L. Q. Spaulding, a prominent physician of Battle Creek, Iowa, is a native of Berrien County, Michigan, born September 7, 1860. The Spauldings are descended from English ancestors who came from Lincolnshire, England, to the United States in 1630. The Doctor’s father was born April 14, 1815, and October 30, 1845 was married to Eleanor H. Quint, a native of Maine. They had nine children, three of whom became physicians, namely: Dr. O. S. Spaulding, of Toronto, Kansas; Dr. L. Q. Spaulding, the subject of our sketch; and Dr. C. W. Spaulding, of Dowagiac, Michigan. Dr. L. Q. Spaulding received his education in Berrien County, Michigan, and at the age of nineteen engaged in teaching. He subsequently attended the State Normal School at Valparaiso, Indiana, for a short time. He first commenced the study of medicine under the instructions of Dr. M. W. Slocum at Buchanan, Michigan. Then he entered Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago, where he graduated in the class of 1886. Since coming to Battle Creek he has established himself in a good practice, and is thoroughly identified with the best interests of the place, both professionally and otherwise. He was married, June 22, 1887, to Eva A. Waitley, who was born in Indiana, and educated at Des Moines, Iowa. She is a daughter of C. H. Waitley, of Crawford County, Iowa. Of the union was born a son, Leon H., who was born November 19, 1892.
