Susie was the daughter of Zenas Squire Spore and Elizabeth (Cutter) Spore. She was born during the brief time her parents were in Missouri after leaving Illinois and before arriving in Harvey County.
Susie died in a fire at home when she tried to light the cook stove using kerosene oil. She was home with her baby sibling, probably Leland judging from the newspaper article. It happened on a Thursday and she died at Saturday noon. The baby wasn't burned except at its knees. She was first buried at another cemetery, but later her body was moved to rest beside her father's after he died in 1906. Another sister, Ellen E. died a few month's after birth in Illinois - leaving only siblings Georgia Grace Spore and Ezra Leland Spore surviving into adulthood.
