Whole Number 161
Compiled by Gerald H. Sparks
[In the Quarterly of September 1992, Whole No. 159, on page 3977, we began the listing of deaths of persons named Sparks registered at the Texas State Library between 1903 and 1940. In that issue, we included the following counties:
Anderson, Angelina, Archer, Bosque, Bowie, Brazoria, and Brazos. Here we continue this record. We are indebted to Gerald H. Sparks, Maj., USAF Ret., P.O. Box 443, Runge, Texas, 78151, for copying for us all Sparks deaths recorded at the Texas State Library from 1903 to 1973, and for arranging these by county. Here we list only those who died between 1903 and 1940, on the assumption that most of these individuals were probably born prior to ca. 1900. We shall be glad to check the complete list for any member interested in a later Sparks death.]
