His father, Alden, was the founder of the " Long Island City Star," which the son and his brother carried on for many years afterward. He studied law and practised in Brooklyn, but devoted himself largely to local history, and wrote many articles on that subject for periodicals. He was the originator in 1863 of the Long Island historical society, and gave more than 1,000 books and pamphlets as a nucleus for its library. Mr. Spooner edited, with notes and memoirs of the authors, Gabriel Furman's " Notes, Geographical and Historical, relating to the Town of Brooklyn " (Brooklyn, 1865), and Silas Wood's "Sketch of the First Settlement of the Several Towns on Long Island" (1865).
