Rev. Spencer B. Ford, was born in Clayborn county, Tenn., Feb. 25, 1819, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James Baldridge in Caldwell, Kans., Sunday, Feb. 3, 1907.
He leaves one son and five daughters to mourn his loss. The wife having gone on before. Of the children only two daughters were present the others being in Missouri. He was a loving husband, a kind father and was for fifty years a faithful minister of the gospel, and notwhithstanding the fact that he spent the last eight years of his life on a bed of pain and was almost blind and deaf, he was a strict adherent to the faith and his last conscious expressions gave unmistakable evidence of an unwavering faith in God.
The funeral services were conducted from the residence, the Rev. B.F. Whicker officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the Caldwell cemetery to await the sound of the last trumpet at which the dead in Christ shall rise.
