Deacon Spencer died at Unadilla, Nov. 4th, atthe advanced age of 88. Mr. Spencer was born in Columbiacounty, in this State, in 1782. Came to Otsego county when only 14 years old and when the country wasalmost an unbroken wilderness. At the age of 23 he became aprofessor of religion of Jesus, and since then has stood in the foremost ranks, a pillar in the churchuntil age rendered him unfit for active duties. Wherever he haslived traces of his usefulness may be found. In 1820 he withothers built a church in Maryland, Otsego Co. In 1844 he came toUnadilla where he was at once elected Deacon in the Presbyterianchurch, in which office he continued until death summoned himaway. From the lives and examples of the departed the livingshould draw lessons of wisdom, hope, consolation. What higherambition should we, the living have, than to live as thechristian lives to the honor and glory of God, and as the goodcitizen to the welfare of his fellow men? "Thou shalt love theLord thy God with all thy mind." This is the first and greatcommandment, and the second is like unto it:"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
