Notes

Lorne Spence was born on April 30, 1903, in Sydenham Township.

Mrs. Lorne Spence was the former Miss Edna Woods (her full name was Mary Edna Elizabeth Woods). Her mother, Margaret Adella Woods, died when she was little, so she was fostered by the Joseph M. Rogers family of Woodford, Grey County. She inherited a number of items that had belonged to the Rogers family. Edna was a schoolteacher before they were married at Toronto, on July 28, 1924. Lorne and Edna were both 21 years old. They farmed in Sydenham Township.

Lorne Spence is buried at Greenwood Cemetery, Owen Sound.
