Watertown Daily Times (NY) - June 14, 1999
Irene C. Spink, 91, of 81 Lake St., died Friday evening at her home.
Born Jan. 10, 1908, in Pulaski, daughter of Melzar and Clara Gurley Spink, she graduated from Pulaski Academy in 1927, and Oswego Normal School in 1928.

She retired in June 1975 after 46 years of service.
Miss Spink also retired from teaching piano in 1977, after nearly 15 years of giving private lessons.

A brother, Robert M. Spink, died before her.
A private funeral will be Wednesday at Foster-Hax Home. Burial will be in Woodlawn Cemetery, Sandy Creek.
