Gender Female Death 18 Dec 2000 Midland, Midland, MI - SALLY HUNTER TROLINGER Sally Hunter Trolinger, an early San Angelo native, died at her home in San Angelo on Sunday, Dec. 17, 2000. She had been suffering from a lingering illness for the past few years. Memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 14, at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church with the Rev. John Loving officiating. Mrs. Trolinger, daughter of Mary Bland (Millspaugh) and Dwight Lemoine Hunter, was born March 4, 1909, and she attended San Angelo public schools and graduated with the class of 1925. She went from high school to the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Pa., and later attended the University of Texas for two years followed by a year in New York City at the New York School of Fine Arts and Parsons Applied Arts. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. In 1931, she married Ralph Trolinger of Amarillo, who died several years ago. He founded the Culligan Soft Water franchise in this city. She outlived her son, John Hunter Trolinger, by four years. Her two grandchildren, John Boyd Trolinger of Chico, Calif., a professor at California State University, and Andrie Trolinger Cantu of Austin survive her, also her brother, Dwight L. Hunter Jr. of Dallas. Her cousins include Austin Cunningham Millspaugh and Ford Millspaugh Boulware, both of San Angelo, and Louise Develin Blanchard of Dallas. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews and old San Angelo families - Findlaters, Westbrooks, Schneemans, Sheppersons, Tweedys and Will Jones. She was a member of the 20th Century Woman's Club, founded 100 years ago. She was also a sustaining member of the San Angelo Junior League. Mrs. Trolinger was the eldest granddaughter of James Louis Millspaugh, who arrived in the tiny village of San Angelo with four wooden shacks, nondescript huts, plus saloons and brothels in 1871. She also, on her maternal side, was the granddaughter of Robert Bland Sanderson, a native of England. The Sandersons stayed for a few years in Cambria, Wis., and came by wagon in 1875 to San Angelo. Robert Sanderson was the first president of the San Angelo National Bank. James Millspaugh was elected one of the commissioners when Tom Green County was organized in 1874. He served as justice of the peace and also was appointed postmaster at Fort Concho in 1875. In the laying out of the townsite of San Angelo, Mr. Millspaugh held out and insisted on the broad streets, which we are enjoying today. Only a great vision of the city that was to be could foresee the necessity of the hundred foot avenues, for then only the post office and a few frame huts along the river constituted the town. Other cities are now faced with this problem of modern traffic, spending thousands and thousands of dollars widening their streets. Through Mr. Millspaugh's foresight and vision, San Angelo has been saved this expenditure and tax dollar drain. He was also instrumental in the bringing of the Santa Fe's railroad here. He was one of the original subscribers to the capital stock to the San Angelo National Bank, organized in 1884, and elected a member of its first board of directors. In 1884, he built and operated the first ice factory here. In 1885, he organized and operated the Water Company. He also consolidated the Light Company with the Water Company. Millspaugh also was active in efforts to preserve the old fort reservation. He pleaded through columns of the Standard for the citizens of San Angelo to at least save the parade grounds as a park, but at that time the majority of San Angeloans did not foresee the importance of Fort Concho as a military post and its eventual heritage. They could not visualize it as a monument and drawing card for tourism. [end]
