# Name: Pheron Spencer PROVANCE, ESQUIRE
# Given Name: Pheron Spencer
# Surname: Provance, Esquire
# Sex: M
# Birth: 08 May, 1856 in Masontown, Fayette, Pennsylvania
# Death: 03 July, 1940 in Hopwood, Fayette, Pennsylvania
# Note:

My great grandfather is buried in the Hopwood Ross Cemetery located behind the Provance family
homestead off Coolspring Road in Hopwood. He and his wife Susan Overholt Bowman Provance raised
twelve children in this home and many of them are buried in the Provance family area of that
cemetery.

Pheron Provance was a farmer and a hard worker. I was only one year old when he died. I do remember
visiting my great grandma Susan Provance. She was tiny in stature.
