News came from Nebraska a few days since that Mr. E. [Elijah] Spencer was dead, but as yet we have not learned the date of his death. His death however was not unexpected as it was impossible for him to have survived long. Mr. Spencer was a somewhat odd, but very good and honorable citizen, who possessed many warm friends, who will be pained to learn of his death. He died at the residence of his brother in Norfolk, Nebraska. He came to Swan Lake from Irvinton, Nebraska, something over a year ago where has resided until recently.
