"John W. Spencer dies of Blood Poisoning, Aged 77 years

The following children survive: William Penn, Bedford, Ia., W.M., Mrs E.B. Worthington, Dorranceton, Rose and Louis at home. Rev. Ben Jones of Idetown will conduct funeral tomorrow at 2:30 at the residence and interment will be in Worden Cemetery, Dallas. The four sons of the deceased will act as pall bearers."
