General Notes: Husband - William Spence

---

He was born on Crooked creek, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where his parents were numbered among the pioneers. About the year 1836 he became identified with lumbering activities in Jefferson, Forest and Clarion counties.
After his marriage he worked at the old Coleman sawmill, on the Clarion river, and incidentally assisted in transporting the machinery of the same from Watterson's Ferry, on the Allegheny river. He worked in the mill and also in getting out square timber that was rafted down to Pittsburgh. After remaining in Forest County until the birth of his first three children he returned with his family to Indiana County, where he passed two years on his father's homestead, this being the place on which his son Win S. was born. At the expiration of the period noted William Spence removed to Jefferson County and settled on Hominy Ridge, near the post office of Ella. He there began developing a farm and also continued contracting, getting out squared timber that was rafted down to Pittsburgh. At Troutman and Cooksburg he gave his attention at intervals to the building of flatboats, used for lumber and coal, and in his various operations he gave employment to several men, especially in his log contracting business. His farm comprised one hundred acres, and even when in advanced years he would not retire from the outside activities that frequently demanded his attention away from home. [HJC 1917 II, 572]
