	Cause: asphyxiation(?), found hanging in the barn, apparent suicide
	Tody's husband, Spencer, was an attorney. He died ~ 1950, when we were in Germany; he was found hanging in a barn (a presumed suicide). I'm giving you the sad details, aren't I?! From what my mother told me, she kept his law offices open and did quite well. She moved from Snyder (outside Buffalo), N.Y. to Tucson years ago, and her house is about a block from her only daughter, Charlotte. Tody told me that she thinks people don't survive when they go into assisted living or care centers. You can tell that she is fiercely independent. . . a Spring family trait, I am sure. She really does remarkably well. Charlotte goes to her house Suicide, found hanging in a barn in New York State

What has really got me motivated again, was a request from the daughter of my motherâ s cousin, Harriet (Tody) Cleveland. Her name is Charlotte Harris. They live in Tucson, Arizona. Because Rex Spring was Charlotteâ s grandfather, I was searching on the internet for records about â Uncle Rexâ . And thatâ s how I found you. I will forward your letter to Charlotte, which Iâ m sure she will share with her mother.
