Five generations of the Spady Family have called Kiowa County, Colorado home. Conrad Spady and his wife Wilhelmina and their six children came to Haswell in 1914. Conrad traded a cow for a house and had it moved by 8 teams of horses and two wagons to its present location. The couple added three more children to their family and the roof of the house was raised to add two bedrooms. A homestead patent was granted in 1920. In 1943, Conrad and Wilhelmina moved to Las Animas and their son, Elk and his wife, Hazel, lived in the house where they raised their 5 children, Bonnie, Barbara, Donald, Roger and Rick. To help out on the family ranch, Donald moved a home on the property next to Elk and Hazel. There, Donald and Linda raised their sons, Heath and Lonnie. When Donald and his family moved to pursue other farming interests, Rick and Carole moved onto the property and raised their daughters. Millicent and Tara. In 2006 the property was purchased by Donald. Presently, Donald's son Heath and Jaylin are raising their son, Shade, in the original house that was acquired in a cow trade.
