Esteemed Resident Laid to Rest
Mrs. C. A. Sparks passed away early Monday morning at the home of her daughter Mrs. Pearl Smith. After a long, busy and useful life she died as she had lived-honored, trusted, and loved. She reared her own monument while she lived in the hearts of all who knew her. Her life was completed if work all done and well done constitutes completion. Her christian life was beautiful from its beginning to its close and through all the vicissitudes and sorrows that she met in the way, her faith in God never wavered.
Cynthia A. Sparks daughter of Rev. and Mrs. John Rodgers, was born in Bradford, Pennsylvania, August 22, 1860, and passed away at the local hospital on Monday, Feb. 11, 1935, at the age of 74 years, 5 months and 20 days.
On August 16, 1875, she was united in marriage to A. A. Sparks, and to this union four daughters was born, one preceding her in death. Mr. Sparks passed away on Jan. 11, 1930.
She had been a resident of Mayville and vicinity for a number of years, and had resided in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Iowa where her husband held pastorates in various Baptist churches. She was a member of the Mills Memorial Baptist Church, of Mayville.
Mrs. Sparks had been in poor health for some time and her death was due to a complication of diseases.
She leaves to mourn three daughters, Mrs. Pearl Smith, with whom she resided, Mrs. J. B. French, of Fostoria and Mrs. Wm. Drohn of Millington, one sister Mrs. O. M. Sparks, of St. Clair Shores, besides a host of other relatives.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday from the home, Rev. J. B. McMinn officiating, assisted by Rev. H. A. Buell, with burial in Rich cemetery.
