  Family Sketch


In the book History of Barron County, Wisconsin, published by H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922 pg. 225-226., there is an entry that reads as follows: "Spencer Driver, a representative citizen of Rice Lake, who has developed an excellent farm of 65 1/2 acres within the city limits, and also owns another good place of 102 acres just over the city line, was born in England, May 13, 1866, son of John and Emma (Bull) Driver, who spent the span of their years in the old country, the father being a trader and dealer. The subject of this sketch received his education in the public schools of England, and was for some years associated with his father as a trader. In 1888 he came to Canada. In 1893 he came to the States, and became identified with the lumber business in Rice Lake. He bought his present farm, then containing 60 acres of wild land, in 1899. He set to work with a will, brought the place under cultivation, and built a nine-room, modern house, with such conveniences as furnace, bath and running water. He has also built three barns, 23 by 30 feet, 16 by 73 feet, and 32 by 86 feet, and also a complete set of smaller buildings for the housing of the domestic fowls and swine, the keeping of corn and other farm produce, and the sheltering of his machinery and equipment. The place is well fenced, and well supplied with suitable tools, implements and machinery. Mr. Driver carries on general farming and makes a specialty of dairying, keeping a herd of good Jersey cattle, both full-blooded and grades, with a full-blooded registered sire at its head. In 1913 he purchased a 40-acre tract and in 1916 a 62-acre tract, making 102 acres, just across the city line in Rice Lake Township, where he has completed a nine-room, modern house, and which is managed by his son, Lee. Fraternally, Mr. Driver is a member of the Knights of Pythias. He was married June 21, 1887, in England, to Lucy Barker, who was born in that country Aug. 9, 1867, and to them have been born eight children: Lee, Edith, Franklin, Alice, Spencer, Jr., Ruth, Roland and Viven Thomas. Lee was born July 11, 1888, is a prosperous farmer, married Minnie Nothaft, and has two daughters, Minnie and Gladys. Edith was born April 27, 1891, and married A. B. Howie, a farmer. She lives in Rice Lake, and has one child, Maxine. Franklin was born Feb. 7, 1899, and assists his father on the home farm. He enlisted June 15, 1917, and was assigned to Troop A, 21st Regiment, U. S. Cavalry, which later was converted into Light Field Artillery. He trained at Camp Fort Riley, Kansas, Camp Logan in Texas, and Camp McClellan, Alabama. Aug. 29, 1918, he sailed for Europe. He was transferred to the Veterinary Corps for a while, and was later assigned to the Government School at Alleray, where he studied farming for three months. He reached the States again, July 13, 1919, and was discharged at Camp Grant, July 12, 1919. Alice was born Oct. 18, 1902; Spencer, Jr., Nov. 17, 1905; and Ruth, Nov. 25, 1911. They are all at home. Roland and Viven Thomas are dead. Mr. Driver and his family are members of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and Mr. Driver is a vestryman of the local parish."
