Louis Spires Family

  Louis Spires   Louis Spires was the oldest son of Elmer and Zenith Norris born in 11/3/1867 in Georgetown, Brown, Ohio. He married Gertrude Clara McKay and had the Following children: Louis Spires Jr, Robert Spires, Rolland C Spires, and George E Spires. 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.

Generation Photos

 One of my favorite things to see when going through photos is generation photos. It is special thing to be able to capture more than three generations in a photo due to age differences of grandparents to kids and lifespans. Since Grandma Davis lived to be 105 years old the opportunity was ripe to get these generational photos. To be able to get 5 generations is a great feat, My wife was able to get one of her Grandparents due to her Great Great Grandmother living to be around 100. Here is a 4 generation photo that we have of our family that includes Josie Davis, Ellen Keitel, Nina Henthorne, and Nina Reaves in that order. If you have any generational photos would love to see them. you can email them to me if you can't leave them in the comments and I will update the post.

Around the last part of the decade he disappeared leaving his family in Labette, there has been records of Elmer Spires in Neosho, MO which could be him because rail lines from Eastern Kansas ran through that area. There was also records of around 1910 of an Elmer Spires living around OKC area. The only other records is a patent out of Coffeyville, KS around the Labette area of a patent for a wagon brake issues by a Elmer Spires.
