SPILMAN FAMILY ABROAD

Alexander Aitken Spilman
October 09, 1893 - December 17, 1933 Clear Lake, IA

Wedding photo 1913 with Anne Mary Katz

Alexander Aitken Spilman was the 8th child and youngest son of Dan and Thea Spilman. 
In June of 1893 Dan's brothers George and Alexander Aitken Spilman came from England to visit with Dan and travel in America.  They went all the way to California before returning home.  Since Dan's son Alexander Aitken Spilman was born only a few months latter, we assume that Dan named him after his brother.  Alexander Aitken was the maternal Grandfather for Dan and his brother Alexander.  Below is a photo of Dan's brother, Alexander Aitken Spilman - and their Grandfather Alexander Aitken from Scotland.

Alexander Spilman married Anne Mary Katz in 1913 in Iowa.  Alex suffered a heart attack at the age of 40 and died December 17, 1933 in Clear Lake, IA.  He had been a farmer and it is assumed that the 100 acres being farmed in 1939 by his son Lloyd Spilman, was part of his inheritance from Alex's father Dan.  In 1936 Harry's ( brother to Alex) wife died.  Eventually Anne Mary Katz Spilman married Harry.
