********************∼Oakland record book calls him JW Sparks, and lists his burial location, but no dates.
There is another listing for John Sparks that has a death date of 1871, but no burial location. These listings may represent the same person, as the records were compiled from a number of different sources, and duplicates and mix-ups occur. (Lack of burial location simply means it was not recorded on the source document. It does NOT necessarily indicate Potter's Field.) Without obituary or death record, it is impossible to say.
He died between 1870 and 1880. He is buried beside his wife in the Woods family lot.
