Spencer Sanders Wiltbank
Added to this blog by Kathy Castleton
Spencer Sanders Wiltbank was called Pen. One time some men named Timberline or Jack of Diamonds and Tom Tolbert, shot a mormon by the name of Hale in the street of Springerville. The story they gave as to why they shot Hale was that they wanted to see if a Mormon kicked when he died. Those same men stole two horses from Uncle Pen. The horses names were Tom and Maude. Uncle Pen and Same Hale went after them. When they came back, they had the stolen horses and the saddles and someone asked what happened to the outlaws. Uncle Pen said, "They will never bother the people in Round Valley again." At some later time, Bert Colter got a book from Uncle Pen when he was at the Arizona Pioneer Home. Written on the fly leaf were the words "Tom Tolbert killed Old Brother Hale."
