DORVILLE SPARKS Drowns
One of the saddest occurrences ever to transpire in this vicinity came to pass last Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. D. F. SPARKS’ children were in a great glee and pay running in and out of their house as only happy children can do, with little fear if any of where they might go. As they were thus engaged, DORVILLE SPARKS, a little boy of six summers, ran against the cistern and plunged headfirst into the cistern nearly full of water…. The family who came upon the scene too late to get the child from the water before he was drowned…The remains of the little one were buried at the Cornish cemetery on Sunday afternoon…
