Abraham
&
Lillie
Sparks
Abraham Sparks (born 2/6/1856 and died 3/4/1920,son of
Winwright Sparks and Rhoda Miracle)
and Lillie Mobley Sparks (born 1894 and died 1956 daughter of Job
Mobley and Delithe "Lita" Allen)
and I am not for sure who the child is sitting on her lap.
We can't figure it out because all of the kids
wore dresses back then. We don't know if the child is the
first or second child of Lillie's.
Abraham was a lawyer in Clay County. He represented the
Commonwealth of Clay County,
Kentucky. He lived in Sexton Creek Area all his life and is
buried on a hill behind the Corith
Church (I think it is on Saddler Road). Abraham is the
brother to Nathan "Humpy" Sparks
that is in all of Kelly Morgan's Clay County
books. Abraham and Lillie had 3 children together
Alzie Byrd, Ceaser Sparks and Abraham Sparks Jr. Abraham
was married before he married Lillie.
He was married to Nannie Morgan and they had alot of
children together. After Abraham
died Lillie moved to Brookville, Indiana but she is buried in the
Hensley Cemetery in Clay County.
