Biography: 

The son of Major de Spain, he is described as "incorrigible and bachelor," a bon vivant who is "not in the town but on it . . . like one prolonged unbroken Saturday night" even when he served as Jefferson's mayor (26). "A banker, not a hunter," by the end of the 1920s he has sold "lease, land and timber" where his father's camp had been (19). He is also apparently the first man to own an automobile in Jefferson: a "scarlet" red "racer" (26).
