Alden Times, Fri, Nov 19, 1897, p.3

Mrs. Esther Spencer, mother of J.A. Spencer, and a lady who was well known by the people of this town, having spent several years here some time ago, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Severance, at Bennington, Vermont, on Friday, November 12. She passed her 96th birtday last September but has been a remarkably strong and vigorous woman all her life, until within the past few years. For a time her health has been giving way rapidly so that death came as a relief.
