Mrs. W. A. Sparks
Mrs. W. A. Sparks, who underwent a Caesarian operation at the local hospital last week, failed to recover from the operation and passed away Monday afternoon. Her husband, a rancher near Lind, and her infant a week old were thus suddenly bereft of a wife and mother.
Mrs. Sparks was a woman of education and refinement. She was a former teacher and came of a fine family. The body
was taken Tuesday to Garfield, the family home, where the funeral services and burial took place today.
Stella Moffett was Mrs. Sparks' maiden name. She was born in the state of Iowa, Jan. 21, 1888, being the daughter of Thomas and Matilda Moffett.
She moved with her parents to Washington state, settling in Garfield in the 90s. She graduated from the Cheney State Normal School and also attended the State College at Pullman. She taught in the public schools of Whitman and Adams counties for several years. Two years ago she was united in marriage to Mr. Sparks and they made their home
near Lind.
Besides the husband and child, she leaves her father, her mother having preceded her in death about three years ago, three brothers and three sisters. The brothers are Solano, a teacher at Johnson, Wash., Cecil and Thomas, who left last week for Camp Lewis; and the sisters are Lulu, Myrtle and Ivy of Garfield.
