Death of a Pioneer

	Many of the readers of the Republican will recognize the name of Spencer
Williams as among the early pioneers of this part of Michigan.  Mr. Williams was
a native of the State of Delaware, but came to this, then territory, in 1831,
arriving on Beardsley’s Prairie, in Cass county, on the 17th of June in that
year.  He was subsequently married to Miss Sarah Smith, bought land on the
prairie upon which he settled and where he continued to reside until his death,
which occured[sic] on the 2d day of May, 1877, which was his 70th birthday.  His
industry and frugality secured to himself and a large family, a valuable farm
and pleasant home.
	For many years, Mr. W. had been an exemplary member of the M.E. Church, and in
the community where he lived he was esteemed as an honest, industrious citizen
and good neighbor.
