CATHARINE SPENCER
Thorold Township
[Welland Tribune, 29 July 1898]
On Monday evening, 18th inst., Catharine Spencer, relict of the late Adam Spencer, in her eighty-second year, passed peacefully to her home beyond, where she has been for many years longing to go. She gave her heart to God early in life and in younger days was very active both in spiritual and temporal things. As age advanced ill-health forced her to live in retirement.
She was born in Thorold township, Welland county, and at the age of eighteen was married. She and her companion spent several years traveling, he being a preacher in the Society of Friends. Her home was made pleasant for everybody. About forty years ago they moved to Oxford county, where she has since resided.
Her beloved partner crossed the river of death nine years ago, and since then she has been patiently waiting the Master’s call.
Three sons-Jacob G., who lives in Dakota; Henry, who lives in Assiniboia; and James Harvey, who lives in Denver, Col., and one daughter, Phoebe A. Rock, with whom she made her home, are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother.
Deceased was a sister to Jacob and John Gainer of Thorold township.
