James w. Spencer was my grandfather. When he was killed he already had a daughter Cary and an unborn child also named James Spencer. I am his sons daughter Linda Spencer Miller. I wish I would of met my grandfather but thanks to the three people involved in his murder, my father never met his father, therefore I never had the honor to meet him also.
