Horatio Gates Spafford (1828-1888)
Courtesy of American Colony Hotel
Born: October 20, 1828, North Troy, New York.

Died: October 16, 1888, Jerusalem, Israel, of malaria.

Buried: Jerusalem, Israel.

Spafford and his wife had a consistent history of acting on their faith. After the great Chicago fire of 1871, they devoted countless hours to helping the survivors. In 1881, they moved to Jerusalem (taking two daughters born after the shipwreck tragedy) and helped found a group called the American Colony; its mission was to serve the poor. The colony later became the subject of the Nobel prize winning Jerusalem, by Swedish novelist Selma Lagerlöf.
