The information I have on Metta Isabella Gates Spalding is as follows:
I believe her parents were William Gates and Elizabeth Mattingly.I have not futher information regarding them or their parents.Married Nicholas Rapier Spalding on November 26, 1907 in St Gregory's Catholic Church in Cox's Creek KY.I have a copy of the marriage bond for my great-grandparents.Nicholas Rapier Spalding died on July 8, 1914 in Bardstown KY in an accident.Both he and Metta Gates Spalding are buried in St Joseph's Catholic Cemetary in Bardstown.According to her tombstone she died in 1919.She had two children--Maude Catherine Spalding born July 16, 1908, she married a distant cousin Leland Rapier, last I knew she was living near Bloomington IL, her children moved her into a nursing home and I haven't heard from her in about ten years.She forwarded my email requesting information to another Spalding cousin as she was not very old when her parents died.This cousin has since died.She grew up with Spalding cousins.My grandfather was George Edward Spalding born May 28, 1910 in Cox's Creek, Nelson County KY.After his parent's death, he attended a boarding school run by St Joseph's Catholic Church (the proto cathderal) in Spalding Hall.He was a commercial artist.He married my grandmother Mildred Jasmund.They had four children Catherine Irene (passed away), Kenneth Spalding, Herbert Keith (my father-passed away), and Lawrence Spalding.Grandfather Spalding died on June 12, 1971 in San Diego CA.
