Orson Spencer
Orson Spencer (March 14, 1802 – October 15, 1855) was a prolific writer and prominent member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in several highly visible positions within the church and left an extensive legacy of theological writings. Orson Spencer is one of the examples William Mulder cites of highly educated people becoming Mormons during the time of Joseph Smith〔Mulder, William. "Mormonism and Literature" in Cracroft, Richard H. and Neal E. Lambert, ed. ''A Believing People: Literature of the Latter-day Saints''. (Provo: Brigham Young University Press, 1974) p. 208〕
==Early life and education==
Born in West Stockbridge, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, Spencer was generally esteemed a bright boy. At age twelve he contracted a fever that nearly killed him and left him with a permanent limp.〔''Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History'', p. 1171–1172.〕 At age fifteen, the town sheriff was so struck by him that he offered to finance Spencer's education. That same year he entered Lenox Academy. In 1824, Spencer graduated with honors from Union College at Schenectady, New York.
In 1825 Spencer took a job as a school teacher in Washington, Wilkes County, Georgia. While in Georgia he also began the study of law.〔Jenson, Andrew. ''LDS Biographical Encyclopedia''. Vol. 1, p. 337〕
In 1827, Spencer joined the Baptist church and decided to become a pastor. He attended the theological college at Hamilton, New York (now known as Colgate University), and graduated as class valedictorian in 1829. Spencer served as pastor at three congregations throughout New England between 1829 and 1841.
