SPURLING is not a common name. Here's another worm to bite on. My husband attended a small school in Pennington, Mercer Co, NJ. A Jack SPURLING was a pretty good drummer & later played with Bunny Berrigan & the last time we knew of him he was playing with Lles Paul. Jack would have been born @ 1923/24 possibly in Hopewell, NJ. My husband took great pride in saying he "knew him when". Who knows! Every crumb could be just the one you need.
