Mr. Spence came to Bonaparte in 1867 and was employed in the Woolen Mills here for about 25 years, retiring from active work in 1893.

There are left to mourn him one sister, Mary B., and two brothers, John and George F.

Mr. Spence was an honest and upright man and all who knew him liked him. Bonaparte has lost one of its best and loyal citizens.

Funeral services were held at the late home Saturday afternoon at two conducted by Rev. T.L. Smith with burial in the Bonaparte cemetery.
