Excerpts from personal history:

"I was born one of nine children. Being the fifth child, I have two older brothers and two older sisters: R.L. Spencer, Harold Spencer, Bernice Spencer, Lucille Spencer. Four younger sisters: Oris Spencer, Renee Spencer, Katie Spencer and Geneve Spencer. I was born in Indianola, Utah, a small farming town of about 125 people. I was born November 7, 1915 to Richard Leo Spencer and Grace Nelson Spencer. My father was a sheep man and a farmer. We lived on what was considered a fairly large farm at that time, about 160 acres of irrigated alfalfa, grain, potatoes and pastureland. My father also owned 200 acres of dry land and raised dry land wheat.

"We had cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and chickens. Our Summers were all busy ones for all of us. We raised a large vegetable garden and mother canned fruits and vegetables in very large amounts to sustain us through the Winter. We always had plenty to eat. We also grew a very large potato patch. Both gardens required a lot of work from all the family that was big enough to work, just to keep the weeds out. It would take two and three days at harvest time to pick up and sack potatoes. This gave us all sore muscles, but it gave us a chance to visit and be together."

Another history:

"I was born in a little log cabin in Indianola. I think I was the last child born in the log cabin. Oris was born after we moved into the "Hy Seeley home," which was down on the main road. I was 4 years old when we moved into the Hy Seeley home. We lived there until we moved to Christianburg, near Gunnison. The last time I was in Indianola the log cabin was still standing. When you drive off the highway heading east into Indianola, you come to a 'T' in the road. The log cabin is almost straight ahead from the main road. The log cabin was divided into two little rooms and they were bedrooms."
