December 10, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Vibe K. Spicer Is Summoned by Death After Long Illness The death of Mr. Vibe K. Spicer, Monday, at his home on Essex road, represented a great loss to Kenilworth, Mr. Spicer was born in Florence, Italy, in 1856, and was the son of the late Commodore William Francis Spicer at one time commandant of the Charles- town Navy Yard, Boston., Mr. and Mrs Spicer have for many years spent sum- mers in their home at Westport Point, Mass., and their winters in Ken- ilworth, After taking his engineer's degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, Mr. Spicer entered the employ of the Westinghouse Electric company, and later was for many years western manager of the Union Switch and Sig- nal company, one of the Westinghouse interests. He was the inventor of various signal appliances for use by railroads, the most notable being the so called "Style B signal." October 18, 1893, he married Anne T. Higginson, daughter of the late Charles M. Higginson. At the time of his death Mr. Spicer was a member of the University club, the American Society of Civil Engin- eers and The Loyal Legion, having re- cently resigned, on account of failing health, from the Chicago club and the Union League club of Chicago. An account of Mr. Spicer's accom- plishments and a list of his affiliations would be incomplete if no mention were made of his love for children and of his close association with the children of Kenilworth. They will miss him and will always remember him with the sincerest affection. Some of these chil- dren have grown to young womanhood or young manhood, some are still young and have only recently known this sweet companionship. He loved children and spared no pains in giving them the pleasure of his handicraft and sharing the secrets and joys of his interesting work-shop. Mr. Spicer is survived by his widow, three sisters, Miss Emily, Miss Mar- garet, Miss Alice of California, and three brothers, Col. William Spicer, Kittery, Me., Capt. John Spicer, Pine- land, Fla., and Paul Spicer, Seattle, Wash. Mrs. Herbert Taylor of 631 Abbotts- ford road, Kenilworth, entertained her bridge club last Wednesday with a luncheon at 1:30 o'clock at her home. St. Francis Bazaar to Benefit St. Mary's Home The annual bazaar sponsored by St. Francis guild of the Episcopal church for the benefit of St. Mary's Home for Children, 2822 Jackson boulevard, Chi- cago, will be given at the home Sat- urday, Dec. 10. from 10 to 10. A turkey dinner will be served from 5 to 8. Upon the success of the bazaar somewhat depends the happiness of the little girls whose only home is St. Mary's. It would be greatly appreciated if some of the unsold materials from other bazaars were donated to St. Mary's bazaar. Such articles may be sent to Mrs. C. A. Gowdy, 1028 Ontario street, Oak Park, or to St. Mary's home. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Crowe of Sulli- van, Mo., and Mrs. A. R.
