General Notes: Husband - Win S. Spence


He acquired his early education in the public schools and as a mere boy began lumbering on the Clarion river. Finally he became associated with his eldest brother, Hazard P., in the ownership and operation of the Queen Charlotte sawmill, at Troutman, Forest County, Pennsylvania. They also built the boats by which the lumber was transported. They also rafted lumber for Ray Sons, and finally removed to Gravel Lick, three miles below Cooksburg, at which point on the Clarion river they continued boatbuilding until 1890. Thereafter their operations continued for a time on Coon creek, Forest County, and Gravel Lick and Scotch Hill later figured as headquarters of their productive activities. At Scotch Hill Win S. Spence conducted a hotel for three years, then returned to Jefferson County and engaged in boatbuilding at Lathrop. For twelve years he engaged in building boats for Truman Buzard, and then located at Brookville, in 1911. For the ensuing two years he gave his attention principally to oil and natural gas development work in this field, though he maintained his residence on his farm beginning from 1913, a farm which comprised one hundred acres.
He and his wife were active members of the Pine Grove Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a Republican, and served as president of the school board. [HJC 1917 II, 573]
