General Notes: Husband - Elvader King Speer

---

He attended the "Clever" District School and remained at the home farm managing the property until his father's death.
His sister, Mrs. Magnus, inherited half of the home farm, Elvader K. the other half, they being the only living children of their parents, and he also inherited the West Park farm which his mother inherited as her share of the McCoy estate. In 1907 Mr. Speer erected a modern frame residence on the bluff back of West Park, which was thereafter his home. He was a Republican in politics and for past eight years has served Kennedy township as collector of taxes. For more than thirteen years he held the office of elder of Forest Grove Presbyterian Church, his wife also being a communicant of that faith.
