Zwevegem: The family of Petrus Cornelius Spincemaille
Petrus Cornelius (1800-1878) married with Rosalia Nolf (1814-1890) had 9 children. The youngest children growned up during the potato crisis (1844-1849). It was during his live that the farm in the Stedestraat was increased and get his 19th century outlook and that the canal between the Scheldt and the Lisse was digged (1858/1859). We have a nice letter of the youngest girl Emma (Justina Emma) dec 1882 when she was a novice in a convent at Heule and wrote a letter to her mother and her family. For a good understanding of the letter follows first the different members of the family. She wrote this letter two months after the death of her brother Petrus Franciscus |
