“He had been a resident of Ithaca for the past 30 odd years, coming here as head coachman for the late William H. Sage. He was later employed as coachman for the late Elias Treman, and afterwards by Treman’s sons. Spencer became groom for the State Veterinary College at Cornell in 1914, but continued in the Treman service.
Before coming to Ithaca, Mr. Spencer had won fame in the racing world, having served for many years as Steeplechase jockey in the employ of Foxhall Keene, one of the world’s greatest sportsmen. In Mr. Keene’s service, Mr. Spencer made two trips around the world, and was especially well known in the sport of steeple chasing in Europe in years gone by.
The late Mr. Spencer was active fraternally, being a member of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Keman Lodge No. 30, Knights of Pythias and the Forest City Lodge [180] of Elks.
He is survived by one son, Frank, jr., who served with distinction in the world war; two nieces, Mrs. Marion Daniels and Mrs. Herbert S. Harris, both of New York City…”
