Died, at his home at Hillsboro, Williamson county, Tenn., at 6 o'clock on Thursday evening, June 12, 1890, Dr. S. C. Sparkman, in the 60th year of his age. He was born Nov. 27, 1830, obeyed the gospel at Boston, Williamson county, Feb.17, 1845, was married to Lucy M. Cummins Sept. 27, 1866. Dr. Sparkman was a useful man in the community and church. Every one who knew him, so far as is known, regarded him as a kind-hearted, honest, Christian man. He lived happily with his family, wife, son and daughter, who are indeed bereaved of a husband and father in the true sense of the terms. But we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Bro. Sparkman will be greatly missed in the neighborhood and the church. He leaves a host of relatives, brethren and friends, to mourn his loss. After some appropriate services at the meeting house at Leiper's Fork, conducted by Bro. E. B. Cayce and myself, his remains were put away in the burial ground near by, to await the summons from on high. In our prayers let us remember the bereaved, strive to do more good in the world, be faithful to God, and when called to go, all will be well with us too.
