Capt. W. P. Spalding starts on Monday evening for his old home in Massachusetts [sic], there to visit his father and mother, and will probably take in the Centennial on his return. (Brainerd Tribune, 02 September 1876, p. 1, c. 7)
Capt. W. P. Spalding returned yesterday from a visit to his old home with his father and mother in Vermont [sic] State. (Brainerd Tribune, 23 September 1876, p. 1, c. 7)
OUR friend Capt. Spaulding [sic] (conductor), of the N. P. R. R., certainly deserves to be dubbed the traveling man. He accomplishes round trips daily from Brainerd to Duluth and return, a distance of two hundred and thirty-four miles, and yet presents his wonted serene frame of mind.—[Junction Cor. Pioneer-Press. (Brainerd Tribune, 02 June 1877, p. 1, c. 3)
Quite a serious accident occurred near Sauk Rapids, to this evening’s passenger train for St. Paul, occasioned by a washout in the track, by which one man was injured though not seriously, and the conductor Capt. Spalding, was slightly bruised below the right knee. The engine, baggage-car and one coach passed over the break; the second coach and sleeper, only dropping in. These however pulled the two cars which passed over, off the track, but the engine breaking from the train was entirely uninjured. The injured man, whose name is Augustus Charles, was riding in the rear coach, in the seat next forward of Conductor Spalding, and had his ribs fractured by the concussion which bruised the Captain’s knee, and is the first passenger ever injured on a train run by Capt. Spalding in all his railroad experience. (Brainerd Tribune, 05 July 1879, p. 4, c. 2)
Spalding, William P.
Is a native of Lowell, Massachusetts, and was born on the 1st of November, 1823. He was reared on a farm, and when twenty-seven years of age was employed as conductor on the Rutland & Washington Railroad, where he continued until 1861; when he enlisted in the fifth Vermont Infantry, holding the offices of Lieutenant and Captain, and serving three years. In 1865, he went to Illinois and was farming for five years. He came to Minnesota in 1870, and went to work in the construction department of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and was the conductor of the first train over that road. This was a special from Duluth to Brainerd on the 11th of March, 1871; he also ran the first regular train in September of the same year. He ran the first regular train on their line from St. Paul, on the 1st of November, 1877, and was conductor until the 1st of April, 1881, when the company was pleased to reward his faithful services by tendering him the appointment of claim agent.

Proclamation.
BRAINERD, Minn., June 11, 1891.
This city has suffered an irreparable loss in the death of one of its best and most honored citizens, Capt. W. P. Spalding, who passed from the scenes of earth at 9:25 o'clock a.m., June 10, 1891. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon, June 13, and I would earnestly request that all places of business in the city be closed on that day from 1 until 6 o'clock p.m.
M. HAGBERG,
Mayor.
(Brainerd Dispatch, 12 June 1891, p. 1, c. 3)
His Life Work Ended.
Capt. W. P. Spalding died at his family residence on Main street in this city on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. His illness dated back over a period of two months since which time he had been confined to the house and a greater portion of the time to his bed, his disease being cancer of the stomach.
Capt. William Pleny Spalding was born in Lowell, Mass., on Nov. 1, 1823, where his early life was spent. He afterwards moved to Poultney, Vermont, where he was married. When the civil war broke out in 1861 he formed a company at that place, Co. 1 of the 5th Vermont Regiment, and as captain served five years in the service of his country. After the close of the war he removed to Harvard, Ill., and from there he came to Northern Pacific Junction in the employ of the N. P. company having charge of the construction, when the first work on the road was commenced. He had charge of the first train that was ever run on the Northern Pacific railroad and continued in their employ until his death the time covering a period of over 22 years. In 1869 he came to Brainerd and located permanently. For the past ten years he has held the position of local claim agent, and has also held the position of Judge of Probate of Crow Wing and Cass counties during the past four years.
Capt. Spalding was a man who had the respect of everyone in the community where he lived. He was universally liked for his manly traits, his genial disposition and his honesty of purpose, and we doubt if the death of any man in private life has caused more pangs of sorrow or expressions of regret throughout the community than did the announcement that "Captain Spalding is dead" which was passed from one to another on Wednesday morning.
The funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from St. Paul's Episcopal church, of which he had been a faithful member and warden for many years.
Captain Spalding's family who are left to mourn his death are his widow and three children, Henry Spalding and Miss Maria Spalding, an invalid daughter, of this city and William P. Spalding, of Chicago, and to them is extended the sincere sorrow of the entire community in their sad affliction. (Brainerd Dispatch, 12 June 1891, p. 4, c. 5)
Memorial.
Entered into rest on Wednesday, June 10th, 1891, William Plinney Spalding, Junior Warden of St. Paul's Church, Brainerd, Minn., aged 67 years, 7 months, and 9 days.
By the death of Capt. Spalding, St. Paul's Church has been called to part with one of her oldest, truest, and most faithful officers and members. Identified with the parish from the time of its organization in 1872, he was always to be found at his post of duty, a loyal soldier of the Cross of Christ.
During all these years, as occasion required, he rendered efficient service as lay-reader, Sunday School superintendent, vestryman, and warden.
Quiet, unobtrusive, gentle and courteous in his demeanor; firm in his adherence to truth and duty; a just and upright man; a useful and esteemed citizen; a loyal friend; a devoted husband and father; a consistent Church man; he exerted an influence which was potent for good in the community and Church.
His battle of life is ended; he "fought a good fight;" he "kept the faith;" and we doubt not "there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness."
To us who remain he has left a character to be emulated, and a memory to be revered.
In token of our affection and esteem for our departed brother, this memorial will be spread upon the records of the vestry.
