Spencer, Howard, Dolgeville.  Nathaniel Spencer, grandfather of Howard Spencer,
moved from Vermont into Herkimer county and settled at Brockett's Bridge, now
Dolgeville, in 1790. He purchased land and followed farming until his death 
and was succeeded by his son, Thomas Spencer, who was the father of the 
subject of this brief sketch, who lived an honorable and respected life, was 
engaged in agricultural pursuits, died and is buried here. Howard Spencer was 
born on the old farm, New Dolgeville, on the 4th of December, 1847. He 
received an academic education, and has always followed farming.  He married 
Miss Emma Salisbury, of Norway, and has two children, both girls.   Howard 
Spencer has lately disposed of part of the old farm for building lots, but 
retained the old homestead, which is probably the oldest building
standing in Manheim. Mr. Spencer is a thoroughly representative citizen and 
much respected.
