Final Rites Held Here For Mrs. Ed Spencer

Funeral services for Mrs. A. Edward (Rebecca) Spencer, lifetime Taylor County resident, held June 5 at Madison Street Shum-Novinger Funeral Home, were conducted by Mr. Carl Cummings. Mrs. Spencer died June 2, 1965 at the Clarinda Municipal Hospital, at the age of 86 years, six months and three days. Interment was at Fairview Cemetery, Bedford.

Rebecca Lou, daughter of Andrew J. and Mary Catherine Jacobs Wolverton, was born in Polk Township, Taylor County, Iowa, November 29, 1878. She grew to adulthood in the Valley community where she attended the public school and took an active part in the various community activities.

On February 14, 1900 she was united in marriage to A. Edward Spencer and to them were born eight children, Ernest [Paul], Marie, Galen, Glen, Albert, Julia, Edward, Jr. and David Wade.

She and her husband moved to the farm in Ross Township where they were to reside all of their married life and where she continued to live until 1960 when she moved to Bedford where she has since resided.

Early in her life she united with the Berea Church and has continued in the faith of her Lord.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Edward, died in 1947; a son David Wade, died at the age of about one and a son, Ernest [Paul], who died in 1963. She was the last member of her own family as her two sisters and five brothers had preceded her in death.

Left to cherish memories are two daughters, [Helen] Marie and her husband, James [Minnis] Allen, and Julia Bedell of Bedford; Glen [Arlin] and his wife Ruth of Buffalo, New York; Albert [Earl] and his wife Idle and Edward, Jr. and his wife, Anna Marie, of Bedford; Mrs. Elaine Spencer Mozier of Maryville, a granddaughter, had made her home with her grandmother, who extended to her the same love and care as for her own children. There are 17 grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews and other relatives.

She was a kind and loving wife and mother, friend and neighbor and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Note: Edward, Spencer, Jr., wife's name was incorrect in the obituary. It should have read Mary Anna Lee instead of Anna Marie.
