Person:Isaac Spence (1)

In the Wesley Chapel Cemetery Book there is a Dyer I. Spence, son of G.A. & M.A. Spence. The dates in the book are 1878-1889. Since Dyer I. is not listed in the 1880 Census or in the biography of his father, or in the birth records; I, Jane, think that this Dyer I. is probably Isaac D. Spence and that the reading of his stone of 1878 may be been a misreading of his actual birth year (per 1880 census) of 1873.

Mr. Spence had a family of five children-: Scott E., born May 25, 1861; Oliver M., born Jan. 7, 1865; Ida M., born April 3, 1867, died Sept. 24, 1880; Isaac D., born April 22, 1872; and Grace, April 11, 1874.
