What was William's middle name? He signed his World War I draft registration card as William Carl Sprankle. However, when he married his 2nd wife June in 1948, the marriage license shows his middle name as Clyde. His World War II draft registration card also shows his name as William Clyde Sprankle (he signed as William C. Sprankle). He is called William Clyde Sprankle in his obituary.

William was the son of William L. Sprinkle & Emily Burk. William's family all spelled their surname Sprinkle.

He married (1) Pauline Coulter on 25 Feb 1915 at St Joseph, Berrien Co., MI; they divorced in 1928. He married (2) June Hazel "Hazel" Sonafrank Easterday on 21 Mar 1948 in Fulton Co., IN. June was his 4th cousin, once removed. It would be interesting to know if they realized they were cousins. Since he was a Lee Co., VA Sprinkle and she was descended from the Rockingham Co., VA Sprinkle family, it's quite likely she never knew she had a Sprinkle ancestor.

William & Pauline had three children: John William; Charlotte Corrine; and Betty Lou.

William was a railroad engineer.
