• Notes

  Information from a descendant of John Frederick William Spaunhorst: John Franklin Spaunhurst, D.O., one of the followers of Doctor Abrams, Electronic Reactions, the most recent discovery in the medical profession, is one of the prominent citizens of Indianapolis, and a very successful practitioner. He was born in Fulton, Callaway county, Missouri, April 3, 1867. After attending the public schools of his home locality, he became a student of Westminister College, at Fulton, Missouri; later attended the University of Missouri and the State Teachers College at Kirksville. For nine years he was engaged in teaching school, serving during a portion of that time as principal or superintendent of schools, and in the meanwhile took up the study of osteopathy at the American School of Osteopathy, Kirksville, Missouri, from which he was graduated in June, 1900. In July of the same year he came to Indianapolis, and established himself in his present offices, 527-530 State Life Building, and here he has been engaged in an active practice, holding the record for continuous practice in the same location. He is a member of the Indianapolis Osteopathic Association, the Indiana State Osteopathic Association, the American Osteopathic Association, the Central States Electronic Medical Association, the Middle States Electronic Association and the American Electronic Research Association, which was organized in 1923, Doctor Spaunhurst being one of the active factors in its formation. Very high in Masonry he has been advanced through all the bodies of both the Scottish and York Rites, and he also is a life member of the Mystic Shrine. He is a member of the Kiwanis Club, the Indianapolis Athletic Club and the Hoosier Motor Club. August 25, 1896, Doctor Spaunhurst was married to Miss Harriet S. Miller, who was educated at the State Teachers College at Kirksville, Missouri, her birthplace. Mrs. Spaunhurst was a well-known figure in club life, and belonged to the Woman's Club and the Monday Club. She was a poetess of more than local repute, was past president of the Monday Club and matron musicale. The diversity of her talents is shown in the fact that she had set a number of her poems to music. The death of this talented, beloved lady occurred July 31, 1923, at the age of fifty-one years, at the family residence, 4631 Boulevard Place, Indianapolis. Her untimely demise was mourned by her numerous friends as well as by her immediate family. There were no children.
