Kay Ridley, I recall my mother talking about visiting a "Mrs. Spears"when we lived at Malta. I dont know anymore particulars. This was about 1936. Also the attending doctor at my birth was a Dr. Spears. That was in 1924 at our farm house about a mile or so from the Malta postoffice, depot, etc.. If can come up with further info after going through old records I will be happy to share Herchel McFadden
