Thomas W. Sparkman was born June 14, 1812; died Dec. 21, 1896. He was born and lived his life in the same yard. Last April he lost his dwelling by fire. Since that time he has lived with his son, near by. He was the youngest son of William Sparkman, from whom he inherited the old homestead. He was never out of the State, and had been out of the county but few times. He was married, Sept. 23, 1840, to Delila Fitzgerald, who died in August, 1841. He was again married, March 16, 1863 [sic1843], to Nellie A. White. To this union twelve children were born, seven of whom still live. He was bereaved of this wife in August, 1879. Brother Sparkman obeyed the gospel some time in the thirties, under the preaching of my father, James C. Anderson. He lived a faithful servant of God for half a century, most of this time an elder in the congregation at Boston, Williamson County, Tenn. Another grand old soldier has laid his armor by, finished his course, kept the faith. May all who knew him follow his example for good, exhibit the same self-sacrifice and devotion, is my prayer, through Christ our Lord.
