Willie was the son of James Sprinkles & Mahala Crabtree.
Note that his gravestone shows he was born in 1912. His grandson reported he was born 11 Aug 1911. His World War II draft registration card shows a birth of 11 Aug 1909. He was not enumerated with his parents on the 1910 census, so 1909 is not correct. His mother died in Jan 1912, so a birth in Aug 1912 is not possible. 1911 seems likely.
He married:
(1) Ida Mae Bishop
(2) Lillie Belle Reeves Logheed
Willie and Ida had three children: Billie A.; James Edward; & Ethel M.
His obituary in the Lexington Herald includes: "He is survived by his wife, Mrs Lillie Reeves Sprinkles, two sons, Bill Sprinkles, Lexington and James E. Sprinkles, Cincinnati, Ohio, one brother, James Sprinkles, Lexington and five grandchildren."
