The Speer Family, (also The Speers) were a Southern gospel family group, founded in 1921 by George Thomas ("Dad") Speer, his wife Lena ("Mom") Speer, and his sister and brother-in-law Pearl and Logan Claborn. Pearl and Logan left the group in 1925 and were replaced by two of George and Lena's children. Over the years, further siblings were added to the line-up and eventually non-family members were added to the group. In 1998, the group was officially retired.
