My Spier Great-Grands had 8 kids!

This is my great-grandfather, William Jefferson Spier, and my great-grandmother, Sarah Johnston Spier. The two of them split their lives about evenly between the 19th and 20th centuries. They lived as farmers in rural north Louisiana and raised 9 wonderful children, Stella, Ida, Ollie, Ruth, Hugo, J.B., Sadie, Leila, and Lawrence. A 10th child, Claude Benton, died at age one month.
