He died where he was born Sept. 24th, 1854. In 1888 with his family he removed to Seward County, Kas., where he has met more than average success. Last November while herding his cattle he became chilled which resulted in chronic catarrh of the upper portion of the small intestine; he gradually recovered from this till he was able to be about, and in doing his stable chores, over-worked himself, resulting in a relapse of his former trouble with inflammation of the liver added; this resulted in abscess of the liver, which opened through his lung causing death form exhaustion. Brother Spears commanded the respect of all who knew him. He leaves a widow and two little orphans for whom he has thoughtfully provided a competence by property accumlations and $2,000 life insurance in the Ancient Order of United Workmen. ==== KS-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ks/seward/obits/s/spears1835ob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/ksfiles/ File size: 1.8 Kb
