Bio:
John Spitler was a descendant of one of the pioneer families of Clay township, Montgomery County, Ohio and was born on the original Spitler homestead, April 10, 1814. He was educated in the first schoolhouse erected in Clay township and was reared as a famer. On April 11, 1839, he married Miss Esther Warner, who was born in Randolph Township, March 5, 1820, a daughter of Jacob and Rosannah (Ligenfelter) Warner.
For some little time after marriage John Spitler lived on the homestead, but in 1841 moved to Darke county, where he cleared from the woods a farm of 160 acres, and later returned to Clay township, Montgomery county, where he pursued his vocation as a farmer until 1894, when he retired. Mr. and Mrs. Spitler had born to them a family of fourteen children, born in the following order: Oliver, Barbara, Elizabeth, Solomon, Susan, William, Hannah, Lydia, John, Benjamin, May E., Ephraim W., Flora M. and Charles S.
