Book excerpt: This is a summary of what is known about the life and family of Charles Frederick Spademan (1823-1904), his first wife, Catharine (Schreiner) Spademan (1829-1865), and his second wife, Margaret (Allington) Spademan (1835-1910), mid-Nineteenth Century immigrants or, in the case of Margaret, a daughter of immigrants, who came to America from Germany, England, and Scotland, and settled in Marine City, Michigan (then known as Newport). "Pioneer and Veteran" Charles Spademan, who came to Michigan in about 1851, was a butcher, a farmer, the owner of a successful meat market, a Civil War soldier, and the owner of lake boats. Through hard work, Charles, Catharine, and Margaret, like so many others in the 19th century, made life better for themselves, their descendents, and their community.
