General Notes: Husband - William Spencer

---

He was reared to maturity in Erie, Pennsylvania, and after availing himself of the advantages of Erie Academy he was prepared for college in an excellent school at Princeton, New Jersey. In due time he was matriculated in Princeton College, in which he was graduated as a member of the class of 1870, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. After his graduation he made an extended foreign trip, in which he visited Great Britain and various countries of the European continent, and upon his return to Erie he assumed a clerical position in the First National Bank. He was promoted gradually from one position to another and was an executive officer of the institution for a number of years prior to the death of his honored father, whom he succeeded in the presidency.
Like his father, William Spencer was closely identified with the development of Erie, and all that concerned his native city was ever laid closely to his heart. Liberal in the support of industrial enterprises which enhance the general welfare in a direct and reflex way, he was financially interested in the upbuilding of some of the largest and most important industrial concerns of Erie, besides those representing public utilities. Thus he became one of the interested principals in the Erie Traction Company and the Mutual Telephone Company, in each of which he held the office of vice-president.
He was an elder of the Park Presbyterian church, and was active in the various departments of church work, as well as in connection with practical benevolences and charities. In politics he gave his support to the cause of the Republican party, and he was identified with various social and civic organizations, including the Princeton Club, of Erie, of which he was president.
