Sparkman, Samuel Thompson
Samuel Thompson Sparkman was born in Williamson County, Tenn., near Boston, and died at Brentwood on July 29, 1922, aged eighty-nine years, one month, and eighteen days. He is survived by his widow; two daughters, Mrs. Z. A. McConnico and Mrs. W. J. Rushton; and six grandchildren. He was the son of Seth Sparkman, who was known in all his county as a pioneer convert in the restoration begun by Barton W. Stone, the Campbells, and others. He was a devoted student of Gods word and knew what it taught. His sons and daughters, all of whom have now passed away, he reared in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and were strong in the faith. The subject of this sketch obeyed the gospel early in life and thenceforward lived the life of a Christian. He was married, on November 13, 1858, to Eliza Agnes Oakley. Brother Sparkman in the latter years of his life was somewhat of an invalid. He and his aged wife had the best of care from their children. His influence for good will yet be felt. Indeed, it were better for him to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. Suffice it to say that his reputation was that of a genuine Christian gentleman. His word was his bond. His integrity was never impeached, nor his honesty called in question. His life is worthy of emulation.
