At the age of fourteen he was left an orphan, and in 1854 he came to the United States.

He continued the study of general pharmacy with Hugo Hensch, at that time one of the ablest pharmacists in northern Ohio. In 1863 he became manager of a pharmacy, and in 1865 entered into partnership with Louis Smithnight, under the firm name of Smithnight & Spenzer, where he remained until the summer of 1869 when he embarked in business alone. He commenced the study of medicine in 1870 at the Medical Department of Wooster University, graduating in the Spring of 1873. Since that time he devoted most of his time to medicine, though he always has retained possession of the drug store at 368 Central Avenue, now managed by one of his daughters, Miss Mary H. Spenzer.
