SMITH
Milton A. Smith was born in Pulaski County in 1847. He was the son of George and Lucretia (Hammond) Smith. His parents were, as most all other settlers of southern Illinois, from the South coming direct from Georgia. His early boyhood was spent in Massac Coun- ty. At the age of fifteen he enlisted in Company K 29th Illinois In- fantry, and was afterward assigned to Company I. Later this com- pany was consolidated with the 9th mounted infantry. This regiment, lost more men, killed in battle, than any other Illinois regiment. His first battle was Salem, Mississippi. He was in ninety-six of the one hundred and ten battles and skirmishes of the 9th regiment, on Sher- man's march to the sea and the Campaign of the Carolinas. He took part in the grand review at Washington, D. C. Entering the army so young he had acquired very little education, at the time of his en- listment he was offered a non-commissioned office in his company, and was so chagrined because he could not accept it for lack of educa- tion, he determined then, if he reached home alive he would secure an education. At the close of the war he began immediately to attend school and studied law for a while, but in 1877 he entered the news- paper business in the city of Vienna and successfully edited the "Johnson County Journal" for a number of years. He later bought the "State Sentinel", a prohibition paper published at Decatur, Ill., and while for many years he affiliated with the Republican party, he was always a strong advocate for prohibition and woman suffrage. He finally took up the cause of prohibition and there can be no doubt but that his efforts helped to bring about the 18th amendment. He was firm in his convictions that every one should lead a clean and virtuous life, and though quiet, was never afraid to express his views. Owing to ill health he retired from journalistic work and moved to a farm in Florida, where he spent the remainder of his life. He mar- ried Emma R. daughter of Abraham Wright, a Methodist minister. Their children were George R., Bess L, May, Effie, Nellie, Earl and Hazel. May died 1820. The widow and other children reside in Florida. Mr. Smith always took an active part in the church and all work that had for its object the betterment of the community. He died in Jacksonville, Fla., March 1918.

district in the State Legislature as a Democrat, 1880-82, and was elected county judge in 1906. Mr. Spann was born in Alabama, 1840, coming to Union County with his father in 1853. He taught school in this county as early as 1861, and began the practice of law in Vienna in 1877. He held a place second to none as a criminal lawyer, and was known throughout Southern Illinois, as a famous advocate. He was a man of unusual ability and intellect. His family came orig inally from North Carolina. Williams was the father and Silas the grandfather. They settled near Jonesboro, Ill. W. A. Spann married Narcissa (see Simpson). He was twice married after her death, first to Mrs. Ettie M. Blanchfill, second to Mrs. Mary Goodall of Mar- ion. Mr. Spann died in 1922. H. A. Spann, son of W. A., is a na- tive of this county and is known as an attorney of ability. He is a graduate of Vienna High School and the Bloomington Law School.

SPENCE
Honorable W. A. Spence was born and reared in Massac County, but has been a teacher and pastor in this county so frequently that we feel he is closely connected with our history. He was left an orphan at an early age but has made a place for himself among the educa- tors and men of affairs in this state. He followed teaching for sev- eral years, entering the ministry of the Baptist Church when quite young. He has served as State Senator from this district and is a resident of Metropolis. He married Ada Fogg and they have one daughter, Mignon, who is quite talented in music and one son.
