Armistice Day prompts local call for tribute in Spencer
A Spencer Herald column urges residents to honor Armistice Day on November 11, noting few business leaders joined the American Legion at the Methodist church service and asking why Spencer’s citizens did not assemble in larger numbers. The piece questions whether the city will unite to remember those who served and sacrificed, contrasting scant participation with the town’s 4900 residents.
