Belding Banner-News, 11 Aug 1898

Mrs. Jane Spencer, mother of Fred L. Spencer, died Friday morning at a quarter
past eight o’clock.  She was born in Nova Scotia August to 25, 1810, and was in
her 88th year, having come to Detroit in 1830 when Michigan was a territory and
has seen the wonderful changes that have taken place in the last half century. 
She married Thos. Spencer and in 1832 they lived in Jackson remaining about ten
years, then moved to near Ada and has been a resident of the Flat river valley
over fifty years.  Mr. Spencer was killed in a saw mill accident at Russell’s
mills near Langston 31 years ago since which time she has made her home with the
children.  She was a member of the Baptist church and a woman of excellent deeds
and kindly ministrations, retaining her mental faculties in a marked degree for
one who has trod life’s pathway so long.

She died at the home of her daughter in this city, Mrs. Wm. Wood, and the
funeral service was held at the home of her son, Fred L. Spencer, Sunday
afternoon at 3 o’clock.  Rev. D.E. Hills of Greenville an old friend of the
family officiated and preached a fine sermon.

The deceased leaves three sons and two daughters, Chas. D. Spencer, of
Centralia, Washington, Fred L. Spencer, of Belding, David H. Spencer, of Grand
Rapids, Mary J. Wood, of Belding; and Susan E. Vest, of Oregon.

Her remains rest in River Ridge cemetery.
