    1. SPENCER - HICKERNELL Family Bible
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old family bible which appears to have originally belonged to the SPENCER and HICKERNELL Family of Pennsylvania. The information contained in the bible is as follows: SPENCER Family Bible Peggy SPENCER written in front of bible Marriages: · Elmer A. SPENCER to Gertrude PORTER (Children – Helen I. SPENCER 4/16/26; Robert W. SPENCER 6/28/24) · Robert W. SPENCER to Lois Ann RIEMENSCHNEIDER Children – Barbara Jean SPENCER; Michael Edward SPENCER; Doris Ann SPENCER; Steven Douglas SPENCER) · Helen I. SPENCER to Paul Weldon MILLER, Nov 18, 1944, divorced May 1952 · Helen I. SPENCER MILLER to Paul William BRANDT, Jan 4, 1954 Births: · George W.L. SPENCER born Feb 7, 1870, French Creek Township, Mercer Co., PA, died Oct 15th 1947 · Florence Gertrude HICKERNELL SPENCER born Jan 11, 1880, East Fairfield Township, Crawford Co., PA · Elmer A. SPENCER born Feb 6, 1897, Wayne Township, Crawford Co., PA · Herbert E. SPENCER born Dec 27, 1901, Albion, Erie Co., PA o Grandchildren: o Donald A. SPENCER, born May 20, 1924, Franklin, Venango Co., PA o Robert W. SPENCER, born June 28, 1924, Franklin, Venango Co., PA o Helen Isabelle SPENCER, born April 16, 1926, Franklin, Venango Co., PA o Elaine Kathleen SPENCER born Oct 22, 1946, Franklin, Venango, Co., PA · Marrie HICKERNELL born Nov 26th 1870, died 1880 · Albert M. HICKERNELL born Dec 26th 1874, died 1915 · Gertrude HICKERNELL born Jan 11th 1880 · Lottie HICKERNELL born Dec 22nd 1882, died 1948 · Jennie Effie HICKERNELL born July 4, 1884, died 1886 Deaths: · George William SPENCER died Oct 15, 1947 Other Items: · “The Lord’s Prayer in Verse”, Miller’s Print Shop, Butler, PA · Brown ribbon bookmark Based on limited research I do find Elmer SPENCER b. 6 Feb 1897, died November 1976 living in Venango Co., PA at the time of his death. His wife Gertrude PORTER SPENCER b. 10 Oct 1895, died November 1977 also in Venango Co., PA. George W.L. SPENCER listed in the bible was likely the son of Moses & Christiana SPENCER who were living in French Creek, PA during the 1880 census including George age 10, and two other children, Rebecca age 14, and John age 2, with the entire family noted as born in PA as were all of their parents. George's wife Florence Gertrude HICKERNELL was the daughter of H.F. HICKERNELL and his wife Maggie HICKERNELL who were living in Mead, PA during the 1880 census along with Florence Gertrude age 7 months, and two other children, Marrie age 9, and Albert M. age 5. All we noted as born in PA with all parents born in PA as well, except for Maggie's father who was born in France. I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the bible can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
