Married Marie (Mamie) Adams Feb. 28, 1900. They had no children. From the 1911 book Past and Present of Hardin County Iowa, pp. 1015-1016: Andrew Spurlin "Among the able and enterprising farmers of the fertile township of Union, Hardin county, none deserves mention in a work such as this more than does Andrew Spurlin, who owns an excellent and well improved farm the very appearance of which bespeaks for its possessor prosperity and expertness in agriculture. Andrew Spurlin was born in Hardin county, Iowa, and in the son of Daniel Spurlin, who was born in Yadkin county, North Carolina, on March 1, 1807, and married Ann Jane Swift, who was born in Pennsylvania on May 20, 1807. They moved to Ohio, from there to Indiana, and in 1816 went to Mercer county, Illinois, and settled on a farm there. In 1851 they came to Union township, Hardin county, Iowa, among the first settlers, taking up one hundred and sixty acres of land in section 14, and, putting up a log cabin, started to make a home. Mr. Spurlin was the first blacksmith in that region and people came for miles around to get work done. His children carried ont he farm work. He was a Democrat but never held office, and a member of the Christian church, a most respected resident of the communities in which he lived. He died in 1867, and his wife also is deceased. They were the parents of the following children: Ellen J., now Mrs. Liscomb, of Marshall county, Iowa; Zachariah, of Ackley, Minnesota; Jeremiah, deceased; Samuel R., whose sketch appears elsewhere in this work; Andrew; Daniel F., who was born on November 3, 1855, married, on July 4, 1881, Etta Adams, of Illinois, lives on a part of the old Union township homestead, and has five children, Leroy F., a publisher of Chicago, Illinois; Bessie, a music teacher; Harold, operating a restaurant in Union; Lena F., a teacher; and Claud, at home; Delilah, who married, first, William Sloan, and second, Albert Piatt, of Parker, South Dakota; Mary. Andrew Spurlin was educated in the home schools and has spent his life on the home farm, part of which he owns. He was married on February 29, 1900, to Marie Adams, who was born in Illinois, the daughter of Daniel and Lucy (Coleman) Adams. Her father was a native of Columbus, Ohio, her mother of Illinois, and they came to Iowa in 1858, settling near Gifford, where Mr. Adams was a merchant. Mrs. Adams died on May 9, 1907, and Mr. Adams now lives with his son-in-law, Andrew Spurlin. Mr. and Mrs. Adams were the parents of five children: H.L., of Northwood, Iowa; Etta, the wife of Daniel Spurlin; Millie, who married John McConnell, of Portland, Oregon; Effie, who married Howard Lancaster, of Liscomb, Iowa; and Marie. Mr. Spurlin is a member of the Church of God, his wife of the Disciples church. They have many friends in the neighborhood, and are prominent in its social life, while their handsome home is always open to friends and acquaintances." [Thank you Robert Fahey]
