JOHN SPENCER, PIONEER, DIES AT SON'S HOME
Death Occurs Suddenly at Home of His Son, William Spencer, Here
John Spencer, a pioneer of the county for more than a quarter of
a century a resident of this city, died suddenly this morning at
the home of his son, William Spencer, 427 North Fifth street. The
end came almost without warning and was a shock to members of the
family and friends. The funeral arrangements had not been completed
at 2 o'clock this afternoon and will be announced tomorrow.
Born In Rhode Island
Born at North Providence, R.I., January 15, 1847 Mr. Spencer would
have been eighty years old next Saturday. The family came to Wisconsin
in 1847 settling on a farm in the town of Kossuth where Mr. Spencer
married Miss Emma Robinson April 17, 1877. Twenty-seven years ago the
family came to this city and Mr. Spencer secured employment with the
American Seating company, remaining with that company until two years
ago when he retired. Surviving are the widow, three sons, William and
Guy of this city and Roy of Pontiac, Mich., six grandchildren, one
brother, Henry of Menominee, Mich., and two sisters, Mrs. Nellie Howarth
of California and Mrs. Emma Tift of Chicago.
