Virgil J Sparks was born to William and Della (Smith) Sparks on November 3, 1903. He is the third child born to William and Della (Smith) Sparks. He married Iona Pace on October 19, 1939. In the 1940 Federal Census, Virgil and Iona are renting a home in Fort Wayne Indiana where he works for a Motel as a Laundry Supervisor. In a 1942 directory Virgil is listed as working for Sunshine Laundry in New Haven, Indiana. Virgil died on February 8, 1975 in Blackford, Indiana.
I have not been able to find a family contact for the Sparks family so far. It is unfortunate. I would like to know more about this family. I will keep searching and trying.
Happy Hunting,
Jan
