MRS. A. NJ. SPICER DEAD
Grand Good Woman Passed To Eter-
nal Rest Last Friday at Ripe
Old Age.

Mrs. Ann Minerva Spicer died at her
home in Cooks Corners. Friday, Oct. %
aged 80 years Born in Pittstown, NJ Y.
she came to Michigan in 1914 and with
her husband Charles Spicer settled on
the farm now occupied by her grandson
Claude Spicer in Otisco, few miles west
of Belding.
Mr., Spicer died in 1853 leaving the
cares of home and farm life to her and
the older children. About thirty years
ago she moved from the farm to Cook S
Corners where she has lived a peaceful,
christian character and grand woman
whom all who knew her loved and re-
spected.
The following beautiful tribute to her
momory is given by Mrs M. A. Lessiter
dear, good Grandma Spicer now sweetly
sleeps by the side of her youths chosen
life companion, long passed on before, but
we believe reunited now, in the glorious
world. Grandma did very much to make
this world glorious, no one ever needed the
tangible things of this life, or sympathy
in trouble that went from her door unaid-
ed. At an early day herself and husband
settled on the line of Grattan and Otisco,
he being first buried at Ashley then re-
moved to Otsco cemetery. How often we
have styled her the good Samaritan Of
modern times and her name being Min
erva, we almost revered her labors Of
love. placing her as a modern Goddess
that more than equaled the ancient Min
erva. Her eighty-two years we're vel
spent her neighbors testify to that Her
memory will long be like her lovely gar
den, fragrant with sweet examples"
She leaves two sons. Allen Spcer of
Grattan and w. C. Spicer of this city, her
two daughters, Mrs. Geo. Snyder and
Mrs. Stockholm having proceeded her to
the eternal home.
The funeral was held at her late resi-
pence Sunday afternoon, Rev. Secord
officiating and Mrs. Decker Hoppough
sang. Many old residents and neighbors
were present to pay their last respects to
The memory of the deceased.

The sam .Ioncs TnIk.

Some people who heard Sam Jones at
the NJ E. church Friday night liked him,
out there was good many who did not,
although they couldn't help. laughing at
the pungency Of his bits and withering
sarcasm. There were people present
who have said they were perfectly dis
gusted with his speech Sam has per-
sonality distinctively his own and a way
Of saying things which if he said differ
emily and in different way, phraseolog-
ically speaking it would lack force and
pungenoy and he wouldn't be Sam Jones
at all Sans great reputation where
by he is enabled to command $3.50
a lecture came to him because Of his say
ing trite things in a slangy way border
ing on the vulgar which CRATE harshly on
the sensitive ear, although sandwiched
with bits of truth and chunks Of philosophy.
1t is a good thing perhaps for Sam that
he is on theater platform or church
rostrum when he calls some fellows dudes
and dubs them as Lying little devils" or
raps the old men as "youmeasly old cuss-
es with red noses; otherwise there might
be something doing, with Samuel as the
center of attraction and resistance.
But all through :he lecture there run:
vein of truth intended to awaken the
nobler sentiments and impulses of the
mind.
