Wife of Timple Sparkman
Grandchildren
We never knew you, but we love you
[Note: This stone was placed by grandson
John Thomas Sparkman, 15 April 2003, after a long and arduous search for
Permelia's burial site. Martha Sue Broyles of Sparta was the final
step. She knew a Mrs. Carver in Quebeck that knew where Permelia
was buried. Mrs. Carver, who had helped Permela's daughter, Avo Sparkman
(Mrs. Charles Garrett) Moore, is in her late 90's, but has an excellent
memory She had taken Avo there frequently to visit her mother's grave.
John Thomas Sparkman traveled from his home in Michigan to Sparta in December
2002. Mrs. Carver directed him to the grave site. Ok, one problem
solved, but came another. Mrs. Carver told him that one of the two
graves was his Grandma's sister. Which sister? Two were unaccounted
for, Frances Ann Hunter Seamons and Jane Hunter Neal. It has been
determined that the sister was Jane Hunter Neal.]
