SPENCER, TISDAL
(11 Jul 1924, Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
The family and relatives, as well as the entire people of this part of the
country, were severely grieved Tuesday afternoon when the news came out
that Grandpa T. Spencer, father of Sam Spencer, of Carter, had died very
suddenly that evening of acute indigestion.
Mr. Spencer was up town that afternoon when he was taken ill, and after
going to the drug store and getting some medicine he rode on out to the
Spencer home just south of town.  After getting home and laying down he
felt better for a while and engaged in conversation with his folks. 
However he did not feel well long for in a short while he was taken
deathly ill very suddenly and sank rapidly until the end.
Mr. Spencer was popular with everybody here.  He was a friend to all and
his passing away was a severe shock to the people of Carter and
surrounding country.
The remains were laid away at the Spring Creek cemetery on Wednesday
afternoon, his wife having preceeded him in death on Mar. 1, 1911, and was
buried in that cemetery.  The funeral service was in charge of the Masonic
fraternity, Mr. Spencer having been a member of that order for many years.
 The Methodist minister from Willow also aided in the funeral service. 
There was a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends present to pay
their respects to the noble and useful life that he had lived.
