George W Sparks, 54, a Grant Co Commissioner, died of a heart attack at the wheel of his car Sunday night, only 100 yards from a highway spot where his mother and a brother met death 15 years ago. His widow, who was riding with him, was able to reach over and stop the car. Mr and Mrs Sparks were almost home from a trip to Walla Walla. Near Warden, a few miles from there, he slumped over and died. Mrs Robert Stack and her son, Howard, were killed in a 1936 traffic accident on the same stretch of road. Sparks was widely known in the Moses Lake area. He was elected last fall to his second term as county commissioner. He is survived by two sons, Kenneth and Dennis, and his widow.
