Belding Banner-News, 8 Sep 1898

Long Lake.  Mrs. John Spencer died very sudden Saturday morning.  She had just
made a pan of biscuits and sat down to peel potatoes for breakfast when she was
taken with a pain in her head.  She called for the camphor bottle but before
they got to her saw she was dying.  She was so far gone she couldn’t tell them
where to put the camphor but motioned to her temples.  She died in just a few
minutes.  The funeral was held at the Orleans church.  She leaves a husband and
five sons to mourn her loss besides lots of friends.  The family have the
sympathy of the entire community in their sad affliction.
