That “death loves a shining mark” could not have been more forcibly demonstrated than in the death of Carmi N. Spicer, which occurred at the Ottumwa hospital Sunday afternoon at one o’clock. His death, unexpected in a large degree, has cast a pall of gloom over this city and community, where he was so long known and admired for his sterling character and the large place he occupied in his relations to its progress and development. Mr. Spicer had been unwell for some months, finding it necessary several weeks ago to place himself under the care of a physician at Ottumwa, but there were very few, if any, who suspected that his illness was approaching anything like a crisis. On Monday, Nov. 10, acting upon the advice of his family physician, he submitted to an operation for appendicitis at Ottumwa hospital. The operation appeared to be successful and there were hopes that he would recover, but on Sunday, he took a change for the worst and sank rapidly until the end. Mr. Spicer was born in Van Buren county Feb. 3, 1875, and at the time of his death was 49 years of age. He attended school at Cantril and Milton, taught school at Troy and at Muscatine for two years. He also attended Drake university. He was county superintendent of schools for two terms and in this capacity he was capable, efficient and well liked by everybody. H. C. Brown, present county superintendent, said of him “You can’t say too much about Carmi Spicer. He was an Israelite in whom there was no guile, had no bad habits and was absolutely clean.” After his retirement from the office of county superintendent Mr. Spicer went to Canada to look after his extensive farming interests, where he remained for about eight years. Upon his return he entered the real estate and abstract business, forming a partnership with U. S. Scott, the business continuing in this relation until his death. In 1914 Mr. Spicer was married to Miss Stella Hoskins. To this happy union four children were born, Lois, Norma, Harold Dean and Hazel, who with his bereaved widow survive him. He also leaves his aged father, W. C. Spicer, three sisters and two brothers, R. E. Spicer of Tuxford, Canada; Mrs. Mary E. Kruise of Moose Jaw, Canada; Mrs. Florence Harris of Bloomfield; Mrs. Stella Beavers of Middletown, Iowa, and Claude W. of Kyle, Saskatchewan, Canada. His mother died two years ago. Mr. Spicer had been a member of the Christian church since early youth. He was also a Mason and Odd Fellow, holding membership in both orders at Troy, in which community he grew to manhood.
