He was born in Kentucky, in 1818, and at the age of five years came with his father's family to this county, settling in South Fork township in 1823. Under the nom de plume of "East Sangamon" he wrote and published in the Springfield Republican several able articles advocating the division of Sangamon county. Soon after the formation of Taylorville, he made it his residence.

EBERSPACHER posted by Linda Sullivan on Monday, October 27, 2003

I am looking for any information on George T. EBERSPACHER who lived in Pana, IL. I don't know how long he lived there but I do know for sure that he was there in 1922 and 1923 and I am sure a lot longer before and after. He was married for a short while to Margaret Goodearle Rummell. I read in the Decauter Review that he was planning an annulment of his marriage to Margaret. They had a son Robert M. EBERSPACHER. If anyone knows these people I would appreciate hearing from you. George EBERSPACHER is my grandfather and Robert EBERSPACHER is my father.
I am looking for pictures of George T. EBERSPACHER and or Robert EBERSPACHER as a child. George's house is on the same road as the cemetery that has EBERSPACHER'S in it. It is still standing, somewhat. It has those greenish shingles as siding? Dad went to a school that was sort of across the field from the cemetery. I would also like to have a picture of that if anyone has one.
