- ...
With this regiment, which formed part of the Army of the Potomac, he
remained until November, 1863, when, by special order of Hon. E. M.
Stanton, Secretary of War, he was mustered out on account of sickness.
The regiment, during his career, was engaged in active Operations in
Virginia, and took part in the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. It was after the latter battle he was
stricken down with fever. After long confinement in the hospital, he,
on a leave of absence, was taken to his home; and it was then, being so
reduced as to be incapacitated for further service, that he was
mustered out. Having always.entertained a strong predilection for the
banking business, on recovering his health, at the solicitation of his
brother, A. K. Spencer, Esq., then cashier of the First National Bank,
of Cleveland, he proceeded to Cleveland, and entered that bank as a
messenger, March zrst, 1864, where he remained for nineteen years,
rising successively ,through the various grades from messenger to that
of assistant cashier, which latter position he held for ten years. His
thorough knowledge of the banking interests of the city led him to
conceive the idea of organizing a new bank, and with this end in view
he severed his connection with the First National, and through his
efforts the Cleveland National Bank was organized in May, 1883, and
commenced business on the 28th of the same month.
