At his residence in Alfred, N. Y., Feb. 26, 1883, Spencer Sweet, in the 75th year of his age.
He was born in Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., came to Alfred with his father, Eld. Spencer Sweet, when he was twelve years of age, and has been a citizen of Alfred for most of the time since. He was a man of industrious habits and quiet demeanor, a member of the Independence Seventh-day Baptist Church at the time of his death. Death, which came somewhat suddenly, was no surprise or terror to him, and he had no desire that it should be postponed, except that he might still minister to those he loved. A wife and three daughters mourn a kind husband and father. D. E. M.
