2013.246.2748Letter 6 of 6 from Samuel Spurling to Fannie Preble
  • Document, Correspondence, Letter
  • People
Letter 6 of 6 letters (with transcriptions) written 1865-1874 from Samuel E. Spurling (1827-1895) to his much younger half-sister Frances (Fannie) A. Preble (b. 1849). Samuel moved from Great Cranberry to California about age 23 ca.1850. In these six letters, he writes from Gold Hill, Nevada, where he works in gold mines. This letter #6 is from Gold Hill Nevada. Jan 11th 1874 to My dear Sister Fannie from S.C. or S.E Spurling. Samuel learns from Mr. or Wm Henry that his mother is ill. He’s having a brutal winter, Samuel was ill in Nevada; he’s now working at Crown Point Mine where he worked 7 or 8 years ago; can’t come home at present. Samuel E. Spurling is the eldest son of Abigail Cobb Hadlock Spurling and Samuel Spurling. A.B. Spurling (likely Civil War General Andrew Barclay) who wrote letter 7 is one of Samuel’s younger brothers. Frances (Fannie) A. Preble was Samuel and Andrew’s half-sister, the daughter of the widowed Abigail Cobb Hadlock Spurling and her second husband William P. Preble.
