AN OLD RESIDENT, WHO WILL BE
GREATLY MISSED.
Came to This Country Many Years
Ago.-lIis Hospitable Home at Wal
mea.-Charitable and Generous.

The grim reaper has cut down the
life of Frank Spencer, one of Hawaii's
oldest and most respected citizens.
Death came slowly. but surely, Mr..
Spencer breathing his last at few
moments past Q o'clock last night.
His death came peacefully at the
Waikiki home of his daughter, Mrs.
Bickerton, widow of Judge Bickerton.
For some months. he had been all
ing, and about half year ago moved
up from his home at Waimea to live
with Mrs. Bickerton. He improved
somewhat, until he was seized with
severe attack of bronchitis less than
two months ago. From this his all
ment turned to congestion of the
lungs. from which he died last night.
At the time of his demise, Mr.. Spen-
Ger had reached the ripe old age of ~
years ago, and during his residence
here has always been a public-spirit-
ed and enterprising citizen.
During the last quarter of CEN
tury he had been engaged in stock
raising at Waimea. He was noted
throughout the entire group of islands
for his generosity and charitable ma
ture. No one who ever visited Wal
mea has ever gone away without hav-
ing been most Hospitality entertained
by Mr.. Spencer.
Mrs. Bickerton is a daughter by his
first wife. A wife and three children
also survive him.
The remains are being embalmed,
and will be taken to his old home for
burial on the next Kinau.
