Spencer S. Angle, who is now engaged in farming on section 2, in the town of Berlin, Green Lake County, has 
passed his entire life on the farm where he still makes his home.  He was born on the 11th of July, 1859, and 
is a son of Charles R.. and Mary M. (Busenbark) Angle, early settlers of the county, who are represented elsewhere 
in this volume.  As soon as he was old enough he began assisting his father in the cultivation of the home farm, 
alternating his time between the labor and the school room.  He received a good common school education, such as 
would fit him for the practical duties of life.  Like a dutiful son he remained at home until twenty one years of 
age, when he began working in his own interests, obtaining a position as a farm hand.
 
On the 2d of September, 1885, Mr. Angle was joined in wedlock with Miss Sarah Walker, daughter of Aaron and 
Elizabeth (Fenwick) Walker.  The lady is a native of Waushara County, where her birth occurred March 13, 1858.  
Upon his marriage he located on the old homestead, where he is still living.  The union of this worthy couple 
is graced with two interesting children--Ina W. and Charles R.
 
In connection with the cultivation of his farm, Mr. Angle devotes considerable attention to the raising of 
fine stock, and has been very successful in that line of business.  In fact, prosperity has attended his 
efforts since he has engaged in business enterprise and he is accounted one of the successful farmers of 
the community.  In political sentiment, he is a stanch Republican and has held several local offices, 
including that of Side Supervisor.
