County Name: Van Wert
State: OH
Date: May 1959
Submitters Name: KRISTY FOX
Obit: Clement L. Alspach 1867-1959
May 15, 1959 - The Reverend Clement L. Alspach, the pastor of
Trinity Reformed Church at Wilkinsburg, was born in Van Wert, Ohio, March 31,
1867, son of CHARLES ALSPACH. The emigrant ancestor on his father's side came
from Germany to America in old Colonial times. The grandfather, SEBASTIAN
ALSPACH, who was a farmer in the pioneer days of his native State, and assisted
in reclaiming a homestead from the unbroken land, had a large family of
children, among whom he lived to a ripe old age.
Charles Alspach, who has been a lifelong resident of Ohio, and is now living in
retirement at Thornville, spent his active years in agricultural pursuits for
much of the time in Perry County. In early life he married Anna Moore, who was
born in Virginia, where her father, John Moore, settled on coming from Scotland,
his native land, to this country. Mr. Moore was a farmer by occupation, and he
served as a soldier in the late war. He died in 1886, at the age of threescore
and ten years. To Charles Alspach and his wife five children were born, three of
whom are now living; namely, John M., Millie, and the Rev. Clement L. The
parents have always been identified with the religious advancement of the
community in which they have resided, and are consistent members of the Reformed
church.
The Rev. Clement L. Alspach acquired his education in his native State. After
attending the public schools of Thornville, he took an eight years' course in
Heidelberg University at Tiffin, graduating from the literary department in 1890
and from the theological department in 1893. Throughout these eight years of
diligent study Mr. Alspach paid almost his entire expenses, though, when going
to Tiffin, he had but two dollars and a half in his pockets. Soon after his
graduation he began his professional duties at
Ada, Ohio, where he labored for the Master most faithfully for two or more
years. In the latter part of the year 1895 Mr. Alspach accepted his present
pastorate in Wilkinsburg. Under him the membership of the church has been
increased by one hundred and twenty-two new members, making at the present time
a total of two hundred and seventy-five communicants. A needed religious zeal
has been aroused within the society, resulting in the erection of a handsome
church edifice, costing twenty-two thousand dollars, which was dedicated on
March 14, 1897. Through the efforts of Mr. Alspach the gift of a handsome pipe
organ, worth three thousand dollars, was secured for the church from Mr. Andrew
Carnegie. Though young in years, Mr. Alspach is regarded as one of the strongest
preachers of his denomination, while the
work that he has accomplished in the past two years is proof of a large measure
of executive ability.
On October 17, 1893, Mr. Alspach was united in marriage with Miss Anna F.,
daughter of William and Sarah (Rook) Seemuth. Anna Margaret Alspach is their
only child. Possessed of ample means owing to his thrifty habits, Mr. Alspach,
in the summer of 1896, built a beautiful home for himself and family at 708
Swissvale Avenue, where he takes pleasure in extending hospitality to his
numerous friends and acquaintances.
