Charles W. Spencer

Sketch On The Life Of Charles W. Spencer
From The History Of Rush Springs Church of Christ
Rush Springs, Oklahoma

No history of the church in Rush Springs would be complete without a picture of Brother C.W. Spencer and an account of his work, and no account that I could give would do justice to the wonderful man that he was.

Brother Spencer was truly a great pioneer preacher, driving in his horse drawn buggy throughout a wide are of this part of the country, preaching and teaching. He could be likened to the kind old country doctor of the past generation, going where he was needed and could help, and he asked no wages.

He performed marriages and was requested to preach funerals even after he reached a venerable age.

He was a farmer, and lived in the Acme community with his wife, Gertrude, and their five children, Edmund (Sam), Ellen, O'Leta, Harmon, and Harold.

Brother Spencer was loved sincerely, and the memory of him, and his work, will live in the hearts of his many friends and neighbors through years to come.
