His was of a sunny disposition, always having a cheery greeting for all, and when his frame was racked with pain he never murmured and always met his friends with a smile of welcome. Dear one we miss you much and while the grave has closed around one who is near and dear to us all we feel that his dear spirit is with us and while pain is lingering our hearts are breathing forth in the wavering breezes, "I am not lost but gone before."

Waveland Independent, Nov. 2, 1928 -- For many years it has been the custom of C.I. Alspaugh, a former resident to send this office a marked copy of the Livingstone, Montana, Enterprise whenever there was an item of local interest. On Monday a copy came and on looking for the marked item we were shocked to see it headed: "CI Alspaugh Dead." When he was here last he was so cheerful and full of life that he looked good for a hundred years. Death occured on Wednesday of last week. The obituary will be given next week.

Waveland Independent, Nov. 9, 1928 -- Death again entered the ranks of Livingston's business fraternity Wednesday morning to claim C.I. Alspaugh, 76, father of Frank and Joe Alspaugh and Mrs. Jessica Evans. Coming to Livingston in 1908 from Waveland, Indiana, Mr. Alspaugh opened a harness saddlery and mixed leather goods store and until two years ago when he increased his stock of bags and leather goods to a percentage greater than that carried in harness, he was known as one of the three of four leading harness business houses in the entire state, the other men in this line having been forced out with the advent of the automobile. Death came Wed. morning at 7 o'clock at the home of his son, Frank, 220 S. Yellowstone Street. Saturday night the patient suffered a turn for the worse, and Sunday morning lapsed into unconsciousness, in which condition he remained until his passing. Beside the sons he is survived by 3 grandchildren, Miss Ellen, the d/o Mr. and Mrs. Frank Alspaugh, who is attending the Frances Shimer School at Mt. Carroll, Ill; and by Frances Jean and David, daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Don Evans. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Fannie Wells of Greencastle, Indiana who visited here two years ago and at whose home the deceased was a guest several months during the summer of 1927. Mrs. Alspaugh preceded her husband in death, Jan 17, 1926. Deceased is a member of all Masonic bodies except the 33rd degree. A number of years ago he was made a member of the Knight Commander Court of Honor, one of the preliminary degrees to the 33rd and a degree higher than the 32nd. In addition to the Blue, York and Scottish Rite bodies of Masonry, he was also a member of the Algerie Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Until his recent heart attack which proved fatal, Mr. Alspaugh has enjoyed excellent health, and his illness has been a shock to a host of warm personal friends. Rev. S.R. McCarty will have charge of the services, and carrying out a request of years, standing between the two men, Lewis Terwilliger has been requested to make a few remarks, which he said Wed. would be in the nature of an eulogy.

Waveland Independent, March 1, 1929

Joe Alspaugh, for many years identified with business life of the city and who until the time of his father's death a few months ago, with the parent conducted one of few remaining harness and saddlery stores in the state of Montana, passed away suddenly Sunday at his home at 306 S. Second St. The community was shocked during the day as news of the unexpected removal from life's activities spread about the city. No one had been informed as to an illness, and the physical characteristics of the man were such that none dreamed that he would be a victim of a heart attack. Mr. Alspaugh arose at an early hour Sun. morning and went to the window of the bedroom to close it. Mrs. Alspaugh asked him what time it was while he was up. He replied, "6:20", and again lay down on the bed. It was soon after this that Mrs. Alspaugh heard her husband groan as if in severe pain. Alarmed, she inquired as to what was the matter. He answered, "I do not know; it is something very serious; call the doctor." This she did and before she could return to the sleeping chamber, her husband had expired. Dr. Paul Greene, who made a hurried trip to the home, gave it as his opinion after examining the body, that the deceased had passed away as the result of an angina pectoris in the arteries that pride and force the blood into the heart. Mr. Alspaugh had no discontinued his work, and was about his place of business as usual Saturday. Although for several days he had complained of not feeling in his usual vigorous health. It was believed he suffered what thought to be a light case of flu. This affected his heart action and in some manner the blood clot found its way into the veins, with the resulting tragical end. Joseph Alspaugh came to Livingston from Waveland, Indiana in 1912. With the parent he entered the saddlery business, which broadened to include one of the finest lines of leather goods in traveling bags and other kindred merchandise carried within the state of Montana. On Feb 18, 1913, he was marr. to Miss Mamie Williams. Beside the widow surviving him are a sister, Mrs. Don C. Evans of South Sixth St, and the brother, Frank Alspaugh, a member of the firm conducting the business of the Progress Clothing store. His mother preceded him in death on Jan 17, 1926 and his father passed away Oct 23, 1928. Livingston Montana Enterprise -- Mr. Alspaugh was a member of WHS '97.
