Spencer Colonel Hartford -

The subject of this sketch was born on a farm in Gage Valley November 11, 1896, and died in Palmer, February 8, 1923.

He was married to Ruth Charron November 30, 1918. To this union was born one son, Donald Spencer, who with his wife, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Hartford, three sisters, Mrs. Kenneth Stone, Mrs. Omar Walling and Miss Sophia Hartford, and one brother, Frank Hartford, are left to mourn his early departure.

It has been the writer's privilege to be intimately acquainted with this young man throughout his entire lifetime. We lived neighbors for years. He had been a pupil under our instruction, and we were thrown together in various ways, and always we found him on the square and never wanting to take an unfair advantage of another person.

Throughout his last illness he bore his suffering bravely and never gave up the hope that his health would be restored.

The funeral was held from the Methodist church Saturday afternoon the large number assembled and the beautiful floral wreaths attesting the respect and esteem in which the deceased was held.

The bereaved relatives have the sincere sympathy of the entire neighborhood.
