Mrs. Elizabeth Amore
Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of Joseph and Jane Spencer, was born near Adamsville, O., October 23, 1836. She was the eldest of family of ten children. She became a member of the Baptist church in girlhood.
January 15, she was married to William Amore. She became the step-mother to two children and the mother of seven, of whom the two step-sons, Henry and George Amore, one son, Cephas Amore, and three daughters, Mrs. Albert Spragg, Mrs. J.T. Reese and Mrs. W.D. Brannon are still living.
After her marriage she joined the Methodist church with her husband. Later she joined the Alexandria Baptist church, of which she remained a faithful member until she was called to join the church triumphant.
Her husband was called to his final reward, February 9, 1896. A few weeks before this, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cephas Amore, was called to leave the earthly home of her husband and two small children, one of them only a few weeks old. Until these children were brought up almost to manhood and womanhood, she and her son lived in the same home and she cared for these as for her own. During the latter part of her life she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. J. T. Reese, who lovingly cared for her during her last illness.
Of her father's family there remained two sisters and two brothers: Mrs. C.G. Mears, Mrs. Martha Saffle, Edward and Bunyan Spencer.
Her last illness was lingering and painful; but death came to her relief September 22, 1914.
At first thought, her life seemed that of a common-place good and faithful daughter, sister, wife, step-mother, mother, and grandmother. But a second thought discovers that hers was not an ordinary life. To be the oldest daughter in a family of ten children, to be a loving and faithful step-mother to one family and a devoted mother to another at the same time, and when those were all grown to bring up two grand-children like a mother, was doing something more than being just a common-place woman.

Stanley Amore, Plainfield, Dies this Morning
Stanley Amore, aged 60 of Plainfield died suddenly this morning at 7:30 o'clock from Bright's disease. He had been in the restaurant business in Plainfield for many years. He had contracted for a concession booth at the fair and he and another man from Plainfield were loading up this morning to come to the fair when he was stricken. Mr. Amore was never married. There are surviving his father, George Amore, with whom he resided, and three brothers, Charles, of the late home, Grover, Newcomerstown, and Jesse, of Zanesville. Two sisters, Mrs. Jay Woodward of Columbus, and another whose name could not be learned, also survive. He was a member of the M.P. church at Plainfield. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the M.P. church in Plainfield in charge of Rev. Yoho, and burial will be made in Plainfield.
The age reported in the obituary is more than likely a misprint. IF he was 60 years old
when he died, he would have been born in 1869 - 9 years prior to his parents' marriage and when his father was 15 years old.

Aged Man Found Dead At Farm Home
Joe Wilt Victim Of Heart Attack
Joe Wilt, age 76, was found dead at his home, about half mile from Nabb, Ind., on Tuesday. Mr. Wilt, who had been staying alone at his farm home, had been dead some days and his body had been frozen. He was last seen on Saturday Jan. 8, when he went to Nabb to get his mail. When found he was dressed and lying on the kitchen floor beside the stove. He had been treated for some time by a physician for heart disease and it is thought that he had an attack as he was preparing his breakfast. Two eggs were unbroken on the table, some butter on a saucer on the hearth of the stove and the coffee had been placed on the stove.
His second wife had died about two years ago, and his present wife, Mrs. Susie Wilt, was staying in Kentucky at the time of his death. She was notified by letter from the nearest telegraph office and is expected to arrive here Thursday.
He had several children by his first wife, but it is unlikely that they can get word in time to attend the funeral as some live at quite a distance.
