Born in Oswego, New York, Spoor and his family moved to Wisconsin and settled in the town of Aurora, Waushara County, Wisconsin. Spoor graduated from Berlin High School and was a farmer and machinist. He moved to Berlin, Wisconsin in 1904. Spoor served in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1911 to 1917 and in 1923. He was elected as a Republican and then supported United States Senator Robert M. La Follette, Sr. and the Wisconsin Progressive Party. Spoor died at his cabin in Silver Lake, Wisconsin.[1][2][3]
