IMPRESSIVE RITES FOR
SEYMOUR H. SPENCER
HELD IN SALT LAKE
Impressive funeral services for Seymour Horne Spencer were held Sept. 14, 1959 at the Liberty Ward in Salt Lake City.

Mr. Spencer will be remembered by many as he resided in Fillmore and taught Seminary for 18 years. He reared his family of one son and four daughters in Fillmore and all of them are graduates of Millard High School. He served as both father and mother to his children as his wife died in June, 1936, prior to his moving to Fillmore.

Mr. Spencer has been active in LDS Church affairs during his entire life; serving as bishop, member of High Council, superintendent of Sunday School, Priesthood teacher and many other callings. He served 30 years as seminary teacher and several years as a school administrator. His avocation while in Fillmore was dairying and he served as president of the Dairy Association.

The service was as follows:
Prayer - Joseph H. Spencer, his eldest brother
Opening remarks - Bishop Buhler of Liberty Ward
First speaker - Orval Stott, formerly of Meadow
Vocal Solo - Libby Lambert, former Fillmore resident, who sang "Homing", accompanied by Sherry Bennion
Bishop Milton A. Melville, close friend of the family and their former bishop, was the concluding speaker.
Gordon L. Beckstrand, son-in-law, sang "If With All Your Hearts".
A cousin, Clarence Tingey, gave the closing prayer.

Graveside service and burial were held in Paris, Idaho, birthplace and former residence of Mr. Spencer. These were conducted by J. Vern Dunn, brother-in-law. Cyril Budge was the speaker and the dedicatory prayer was by Edwin H. Spencer, brother.

Pall bearers were four sons-in-law: Harold Whatcott, Gordon Beckstrand, Doyle Robison, Clair McKee; two brothers-in-law, J. Vern Dunn and Arthur Erickson.

Brother Spencer is survived by his son Robert W., Salt Lake; daughters: Helen S. Whatcott, Modesto, Calif; Norma S. Beckstrand, Logan; Beth S. Robison, Cleveland, Ohio; Joan S. McKee, Vernal, Utah; twelve grand children and two brothers, Joseph H., Salt Lake City, and Edwin H. of Magna, Utah.
