DIED

At Fairbury, Neb., on Saturday, Jan.12th, 1889, Mrs. Emma Spencer, wife of
Dr. G. F. Spencer, aged about 20 years.

Her remains were brought to Evansville, Rock county, Wis., where the
funeral services were held on Sunday last and her remains intered in the
cemetery at that place. Her mother Mrs. Hughes, of this village was unable
to attend the funeral on account of her serious illness. The news of the
sudden death of Mrs. Dr. Spencer, nee Emma Hughes, carried with it sadness
to many a family, intimate friend, and acquaintance of the deceased. But a
few months since she was united in marriage to Dr. G. F. spencer, of
Evansville, Wis., and soon after bid adieu to relatives and friends here
and took up their abode at Fairbury, Neb. But alas the summons came, she
was called to her Eternal Home. This community feel to deeply sympathize
with the mother and other relatives and friends in this very sad
berevement. Mrs. Spencer was born in Palmyra and lived here the most of her
years, and in her childhood, and youth was much respected by all who knew
her, and more, beloved by all of her num erous companions who now sadly
deplore her sudden departure. At the time of her decease, she was a member
of Spring Lake Lodge, No. 176, I. O. G. T. and ever among the most faithful
to perform her every duty. God will bless her example for good. Palmyra
