Frank o. Spencer, whose serious illness !
was recorded in last weeks issue of the /
MONITOR, died in Albany, Ny last We'd /
nesday. The remains were brought here |
for burial. The deceased was born in West
more, April 15 1882. Alb ut four years ago, |
Mr.Spencer's people moved to West Burke,
since which time Frank has made many |
friends. He was a bright, intelligent boy, I
and early developed great love for study. |
He attended the village school here Till [
about two years ago, when he entered St. |
Johnsbury Academy. He remained there |
only a short time however, deciding he
preferred business career, and later en-
tered Barbour's Business College to tit |
himself for the same. January LIST, 1900,
he went to Albany, n. Y. where he attend /
ed the business college of that city. He !
had worked very faithfully and earned
much we'll merited praise from his teachers
during his stay there. He would have fin
ished the course in about six weeks had he
lived. March Is, Frank began to feel ill
and the following Monday telegraphed for
his sister, Miss Celia Spencer, who is stu
dent at Mt. Holyoke College. She started
finding her brother very ill, she sent at
once for Mr.. Spencer, who arrived there
Wednesday. The disease was typhoid
fever, but it was found that he was suffer-
ing from acute Bright's disease, and one
lung was badly affected. He only
at intervals after his father and
sister reached him. Every thing that the
best medical attendance and the most ten
der care could accomplish was done, but
even that could not keep him, and the
bright, young life that gave every promise
of SO rich future, passed beyond to that
world from which there is no returning.
