FAMILY OF LABAN AND EMILY (LYON) SPARKS
Ken Sparks, Anderson, Indiana, 46013, a grandson of Laban and Emily (Lyon) Sparks, has shared this photograph of their family taken about 1900. He has asked for some corrections to be made in the article about this family that appeared in the June 1996 issue of the Sparks Quarterly, Whole No. 174. The first correction should be made on the cover page [page 4631] where the name of Virginia Sparks should be changed to Virgie Sparks. (Correction made, WM)
A second correction should be made on page 4638 to Item A, 3, a, where the name of Charles Franklin Sparks should be changed to Charles Fonso Sparks. The third and final correction should also be made in this item. Laban and Emily (Lyon) Sparks had seven children, but only six of them were named. The name of the child who should be added is Henry W. Sparks.
