Galen Kind

 

Galen Kind was born on 10/19/1916 in Minot, ND to Hazel Spires Kind and Elmer Kind. He Married Gale Bambic and had no children, but he was a parent to so many cousins. I know my Uncle Charles lived with him for a little while along with Shari Spires sister of Deborah Fischer. He was a very popular cousin, most of the distant relatives have heard of Galen or have visited him. When we stayed over in Wichita to visit family we would often stay at their house and visit. Galen died on 8/17/1997 in Wichita, KS.

Louis moved to Joliet, Illinois according to the 1910 Census and lived there until his death 2/17/1944. I got the chance to meet a few of Louis family on Facebook. Jeri Vece was the daughter of Louis Spires Jr. Her father has done a ton of research on the Spires family and most of the research on the Spires family in Brown County Genealogical Society came from Louis Spires. The other cousin I have connected with is Deborah Fischer. She is the daughter of Robert Spires and we have came close over the past few years. She lives in New York so it is hard to see each other but we keep in touch with each other on Facebook, and she even made a visit to OKC to meet the family and attend the last family reunion.
