His obituary appeared on 3 Jul 1890 in the Ogdensburg Advance and St. Lawrence Weekly Democrat in Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence, New York, as follows:
"Richville, July 1.-- . . . Mr. E. J. Spooner for many years a resident of this town, died Saturday night after a protracted illness. Mr. Spooner suffered a severe shock of paralysis early in March last, and although he had been about somewhat since that time, his mind and strength gradually failed. The deceased was an enterprising farmer upon land which he cleared with his own hands, and he was highly respected by all. He was closely identified with the interests of the Congregational church, of which he and his family were members and at the time of his death held the office of deacon and trustee. For years he has been church chorister and has sacrificed time and energy to this important department of church work. Mr. S. was also a veteran of the late war and a member of Rich Post G. A. R. His age was 62 years." [http://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/sn83031423/1890-07-03/ed-1/seq-1/]

Early in life she espoused the cause of Christ and was held in high esteem for her pure Christian work and character She was a devoted member of the Congregational church of this village, and for many years was organist of said church choir. She was also an active and working member of the W. C. T. U., and that organization attended her funeral in a body.
