I noticed two messages this evening concerning the SPOONER surname. I, too, have living relatives in Tomah.... Just talked to them yesterday.... Unfortunately, I do not have much descendant data for William H. Spooner, but I do have a lot of ancestor, and collateral line information for him.... I invite anyone who is interested in this surname in Wisconsin to check out my basic data, which can be found at either of the two URLs listed below.... I would be happy to send additional data on these families, if you would like to have it.... Best wishes.
