The El Dorado Times, April 22, 1933
Augustan Loses Life in A Creek

Ed Spencer, Pioneer of Butler County, Is Drowned Late Yesterday

Ed Spencer, aged 66 years, a resident of Augusta all but about six years of his 
life, was drowned in Four Mile Creek, southwest of Augusta, late yesterday 
afternoon. The body was found in two feet of water by Frank Tompson, a son-in-
law.

A physician who recently had treated Mr. Spencer for an illness said that he 
had sinking or fainting spells while ill. It is thought that he was overcome 
with one of these attacks as he fished and fell into the water where he drowned.

Spencer was fishing with Thompson and another son-in-law, Lem Hughes.

Because of his long residence at Augusta, Mr. Spencer was widely known 
throughout the south part of the county. He also was well known in El Dorado, 
where he spent much time a few years ago while official fumigator for the 
Butler County Board of Health. Mr. Spencer also had been an employee of the 
Augusta Police Department in recent years.

Mr. Spencer was born in Iowa and he moved with his parents to Augusta when a 
small boy.

Funeral services iwll be held at the Augusta Christian Church at 3 o'clock 
Monday. Dan Smith, pastor, will be in charge. Burial will be made in the 
Elmwood Cemetery.
