The son of Daniel & Mary (Christie) Spangler, he was a coach trimmer and York County, Pennsylvanian but may have been living in Philadelphia in 1863 and is not found in the 1860 census for York County.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-nine and mustered into state service at Philadelphia July 3, 1863, as a private with Co. I, 52nd Pennsylvania Militia, and honorably discharged with his company September 1, 1863.

He married Maria Alfretta Smith ca. 1870 and fathered Mary (b. 1871), Phineas Palmer (b. 12/21/73), Henry Good (b. 09/??/76, d. 07/18/77), Carrie (b. @1879), and Daniel Christy (b. 04/25/80). His obituary in the York Dispatch claims he lived for twenty years in Philadelphia, but he is in the 1870 and 1880 censuses and the 1890 Veterans Schedule living in York where he died at his West King Street home. The obituary also mentions his participation as a fireman during "the old days of acute partisanship . . [in which] Mr. Spangler was always to be found in the thickest of the numerous frays which were characteristic of York while it was a borough."
