Was Miss Lizzie Spencer before her mar
Iiage to one of the sons of the Mastcks of
Mastick Station, Alameda. Her mother is
the widow Of the late Mr.. Williams, the
former law partner of the late Delos Lake.
Miss Spencer, although not born in San
Francisco, may be considered San Fran
cisco girl as her childhood and youth were
spent in this city and 1t was here she gained
her education in the public schools She
was a regular attendant at the North Cos
mopOltan School, where she and Mrs. w.
3. Chapman NEE Dora Sherwood were COM
panions during the regime of the late
lamented Miss Kate Kennedy. While there
she was a general favorite with her teachers
and her companions. She was very tall for
her age, and of n slender. willOwy form
that was the admiration Of her younger
classmates. She was an accomplished must
clan, on the piano, but most gracefully
yielded the palm in vocal music to her
elder sister Fannie, who was the owner of a
remarkably pure sweet meZzO soprano
voice which had received careful cultlva-
ton. For years the two Spencer girls lived
with their mother, Mrs. Williams, on the
corner Of Jackson and Leayenworth streets,
AID then the family moved to Alameda.
Fannie went East and married a relative of
the New York Jeromes, while Lizzie be-
came the bride of young Charles Mastck
She is not society matron her devotion to
her family and her love for the quiet pleas
ures of domestic life lead her to find her
greatest happiness in the home circle. She
is as OF yOre-Jall. slender and commanding
in her presence, with a conference that
| lights up with her smile and eyes that beam
| with kindness and twinkle with mirth.
Her husband is tall, welcomed specimen
OF blonde manhood, and together they make
very fine-lOoktng couple. They reside in
Alameda.
