A number of years ago a Sparks researcher at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., reported that the earliest city directory of record for Dayton, Ohio, in which the name Sparks appears, is that for 1856-1857. The next available directory is for 1879-1880, and the third is dated 1890-1892. The Sparks entries in these three directories are:
