The first Sunday of every August there is a reunion of the descendants of this couple in Coleman, Texas. In the following pages are newspaper clippings about some of these reunions. The clippings usually list the descendants who attended that particular years reunion.Notes for William Lewis Sparkman:
William Lewis Sparkman was born February 22, 1855 in Sparta, White Co., Tennessee, the sixth of eleven children of "Squire" George W. Sparkman and Malissa Hill Sparkman. [The death certificate of William Lewis states that his mother was Martha Jane Hill!] He is said to have attended Burritts College in Spencer, Tennessee. He left Tennessee to come to Texas in 1877/78, inviting a neighborhood friend about the same age as he, to make the journey with him. Since neither of the young men had an abundant amount of money they decided that they would walk the distance between their Tennessee homes to Texas. They walked by day and slept under the stars at night. Finally they arrived in Troy, Bell Co., Texas and were fortunate to find work. According to Mary Lorena Menefee Sparkman the reason that William Lewis Sparkman left Tennessee was because he and his brother, Jerriah Monroe Sparkman had had an argument and so in order to cool off, William Lewis Sparkman started his walk to Texas. (REF: Conversation with Lorena on March 28th, 1998)In 1878, William Lewis met and married Miss Mollie Gilliam, born in Robertson County, Texas on April 19, 1862. After their marraige they bought land near Troy, Texas and set about farming the land. They would be blessed with eight children, all of whom were born on this piece of land in Troy, Texas.
W. L. ("Lewis" as he was known) was one of the first trustees of the Loss Creek School. Descendants of he & Mollie, namely Eirys Sparkman Larance, Beulah Parker Sparkman, were among the teachers at the school when it opened in 1907--Beulah teaching during the second term. In 1908 students with the surname Sparkman attending classes at Loss Creek were Hubert Sparkman, and Annie Sparkman. Several of the other students were cousins of Hubert and Annie.
The first Sunday of every August there is a reunion of the descendants of this couple in Coleman, Texas. In the following pages are newspaper clippings about some of these reunions. The clippings usually list the descendants who attended that particular years reunion.
Several years ago, [1988] Jesse Lee Sparkman wrote a booklet for distribution at the aforementioned reunion. In that booklet was the following:
"Lewis Sparkman (1855-1950) is said to have attended Burritts College,
Spencer, Tennessee. Emigrated to Bell County, Texas in 1877, where he married Mollie Gilliam and settled with her on her portion of the Talliaferro Hughes League. Her mother, Orphelia Hughes, a third generation Texan. Her grandfather, John Hughes and uncle, Talliaferro (Tolliver) Hughes, each had a class headright (Nos. 217 & 249) over four thousand acres, for being in Texas before its Declaration of Independence from Mexico, and possibly having served in its army. Lewis was a strong man physically, with a deep Tennessee drawl and a good personality. He had many friends and although he came to Texas in gun-fighting days, he never seemed to have any trouble. Shortly after arriving he and a companion refused to pay toll on a bridge on the Brazos River near Waco. One of them pulled a gun to back up the refusal. The bridge tender said, 'All right, you can go. But you keep doing this in Texas - somebody will call your hand.' He took the warning seriously and never presented a weapon again. He was a Southern Baptist, who usually served as a deacon in a country church. Occasionally he would slip from grace and get drunk. The church apparently has a more benevolent attitude than now, as they always received him back. He was considered 'not a fast man' and the present term 'laid back' would apply to him. He said he had read 'The Fundalmentalist' by J. Frank Norris, a widely-known Baptist preacher, who had to kill a man in his office, and commented 'We have men that need killing, but we don't have horses that need stealing."He read "The Iconoclast" when its editor was in a bitter feud with the Baylor University Baptists in the adjoining county. The Baptists set aside their principles long enough to kill the carpet bagger editor, Braun, in a wild shootout in downtown Waco.
He also read "The Fundamentalist" by J. Frank Norris, a widely known Baptist preacher, who had to kill a man in his office. As they used to say, "We have men that need killing, but we don't have horses that need stealing."
Another periodical he read was the "Ferguson Forum" edited by Jim Ferguson, a former (and impeached) governor of Texas. Lewis was a life-long Ferguson supporter, believing that he was villified by political antagonists.
Lewis and Mollie raised a family of eight children of their own, and three others left by the untimely death of their oldest daughter, Lillie Mae. All turned out well.
In 1906 Lewis and Mollie, together with part of related families, the Hughes, the Cullins, and the Dobbins who had trekked from South Carolina in the early part of the last century, sold their respective parts of the T. Hughes League in Bell County, Texas, and moved to Coleman County, where they settled in the Loss Creek community south of Coleman. As with the Sparkman family in North Carolina and Tennessee, th practice of migrating together as a clan, probably for mutual protection, has since been discontinued. In the days when you might have a feuding family like the Hatfiedlds and the McCoys, living in the next valley, with a big chip on their shoulder, it was well to have numerous relatives in your community. Remote cousins, formerly counted as kin, are now unknown persons scattered here and there.
William Lewis Sparkman is buried in Coleman City Cemetery, beside Mollie Sparkman. His tombstone reads as follows:

Loss Creek School
by Eirys Sparkman Larance"No, it isn't 'lost' and it never was 'lost;. When the early settlers built their homes in the area of this quiet, gentle creek the waters were cool and peaceful. They were not moving in any directions, as if the little creek was at a 'loss' to know which way it should flow. The first school trustees decided the name would be 'Loss Creek;, as it was near this little creek. Deed records dated 9 August 1907 show that E. J. Wesson, for the sum of $10.00, sold to the trustees of Loss Creek School District No. 47 for school purposes, 1 2.9 acres of land. The first trustees were: M. B. Nickles, W. L. SPARKMAN, E. J. Wesson, and D. L. Cullins. Lumber was hauled in wagons from Coleman, and the one room building was erected by men of the community who volunteered their labor. The first school opened in 1907 with Miss Daisy Alford as teacher, and Miss BEULAH PARKER, who became Mrs. W. B. SPARKMAN of Santa Anna, taught the second term. After two terms of school the boundary line of the district was changed, and it was decided to move the school nearer the center of the district, up the hill and on the Sheilds road. the deed dated 29 June 1910 states that: 'J. W. Gates and wife, for the sum of $50.oo paid by W. P. Nuckols, M. B. Nickles, and D. L. Cullins, trustees of School Dist. No. 47, do grant and sell to the said trustees and their successors in office, a certain 3 acres of land for free school purposes for white children.'
The trustees sold the first school site back to Mr. Wesson for the same amount they had paid him, and moved the building to the new location. It was used for another term while a new building was erected, then it was used as a teacherage. W. E. Haney, a Coleman contractor, constructed the new building and painted it a pretty slate gray inside and outside. there were big windows all across the east side, with a porch and double doors on the west wall, then 2 big classrooms with a partition that could be raised, making one large assembly room. A big coal stove with a black metal bucket was installed in each room. Men of the community were paid to haul coal from Coleman when it was needed. Records for 1912 show that Walter Seals was paid $1.50 each for hauling four loads; for expenses of the schools in 1914, Professor John Byrd was paid $22.50 for janitor work, hauling coal and water for the year, and $100.00 per month salary. Mrs. Byrd drew $50.00 per month for teaching, and the enrollment was 47. In 1923, Clarence Cullins hauled coal for $2.00, Sid Cullins was paid $5.00 for cleaning the cistern, Ray Cullins hauled 2 loads of coal for $3.50, CLARENCE DURHAM was paid $8.00 for taking school census and C. A. Yarborough $7.50 for work on cistern and hauling water. This nice frame building fully met the needs of the community for school, church and Sunday School, revivals, singing schools, box suppers and literary programs. In 1926, a new red brick building was constructed, with 3 large classrooms, and the school went to a 3-teacher school. The old frame building, but not the land, was deeded by the trustees to the Shiloh Baptist Church, which was organized by Rev. McCorkle of Coleman. Roland Kemp deeded an acre of land across the road to the church, in 1928, the building was moved. In 1930, two more rooms were added to the school building. One was a large classroom, and the other was arranged and equipped for a Homemaking Department, under the supervision of Miss EIRYS SPARKMAN, the Homemaking teacher. This was the first rural school in the county to begin a Homemaking Department. "It was well received and used. Many girls who had quit school returned for these classes and thus were encouraged to complete their high school studies, which they did. During the same year the library was enlarged, science lab equipment was added, a PTA was organized, and more playground equipment was provided. In 1931, the school went to eleven grades, and 8 month term, with 6 teachers and an enrollment of 116 pupils - the peak year for the school. Consolidation of schools soon began, and Loss Creek held on until 1951 when the high school students were transferred to Mozelle High School and thye elementary students were transferred to Coleman. the teachers from 1907 to 1951 were: Daisy Alford, BEULAH PARKER, W. M. Connelly, Lillie Halbert, George Green, V. A. Edinburg, John and Ola Byrd, Bill Knight, Rose Pearce, Nora Henry, Mr. Leslie, Mary Couch, Annette Spath, Mable Harvey, Mattie Vanderford, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Moore, Mrs. Marcus Durham, Sarah Newsom, Lee Hemphill, EIRYS SPARKMAN, Corinne Folk, LOIS SPARKMAN, Edna Nixon, Mrs. W. A. Wilhite, D. A. Bounds, Mary Folk, Ellen Folk, Nita Lee Wilder, and C. R. Steele. Among the school trustees not previously named were W. M. Freeman, R. W. Starnes, W. D. McClain, G. K. Redding, Will Kemp, John Adian, E. G. Cyre, W. R. Dobbins, J. C. Abernathy, W. S. Smith, Frank Adian, C. D. Miller, I. V. Sewell, Ed Duke and Harvey Patton.
Mrs. Mary Cullins, widow of John Cullins, bought land here in the early 1900's and moved here from Bell County along with her five sons: Don, Doris, Albert, Loddie and George. Her sons reared their families here and took part in all community endeavors. Other families were DOBBINS, HUGHES, SPARKMAN, Wesson, Omondson, Nickles, Alexander, Hennesee, Freeman, Nuckols, Scarborough, Gunn, Hodges, Walker, Garrett, Rice, Cope, Tabor, West, Henry, PRIDEMORE, Copeland, McCarol, Bridges, Redding, Rude, Kemp, Starnes, Holmes, Harrell, Crye, Adian, Abernathy, Roach, Cochran, Vanderford, Haygood, Butler, Seals, Sewell, Duke, Moneyhun, Coleman, DURHAM, Barefoot, Yarborough, Patton, Netherton, Tatum, Webb, Cannon, Leedy, Dunn, Smith, Miller, Cammack, Sorrells, Dodgen, Greer and many others who moved in and out. Many of these families were relatives, and all of them were good friends and neighbors.______________

[Pirtle.GED] E-Mail 30 May 1998 Dear Wanda, Thank you for your informative reply to my ELLNER inquiry. I don't think that our ELLNER's connect, but in reading the genealogical report that you sent I discovered that your Pirtle's are more than likely the same as my husband's maternal great grandmother's mother's family. I am attaching a genealogical report, that is about as complete as we know on the PIRTLE & BLACK'S. No research has been done on these two lineages as we had no dates or what ever to go on other than Hardeman Co., Tennessee and a few names. In reading the genealogy report that you sent you state that Herman Amos Black, Sr., was a son of George Black and Martha Pirtle, well Herman more than likely is the brother of Martha Lucinda Black, who was born December 17, 1871 in Hardeman Co., Tennessee and died March 26, 1953 in Wichita Falls, Wichita Co., Texas at the State Hospital. Mattie as she was known married John Henry Patrick in Hardeman Co., Tennessee, Bolivar to be exact on March 5, 1889 and shortly after the birth of their daughter Olivia, we think, they moved to Bell or Coleman Co.,Texas. John Henry Patrick was born to Thomas Garrison Patrick & Sarah Joyner on January 31, 1869 in Bolivar, and died March 17, 1950 in Olney, Young Co., Texas. Guess what my question is, are Herman Amos Black's parents the same GEORGE BLACK & MARTHA PIRTLE that are the parents of Martha Lucinda Black?????? If yes, you have made my day!!!!!! I am attaching what we know about the Black- Pirtle family which is very little other than our direct line. What relation is Nora, wife of Herman Black to Martha Pirtle?Hope to hear from you again really soon, and thank you again for your prompt and informative reply to my inquiry regarding Theresa Ellner. Will keep her name on file, and if there is a connection will be sure and let you know. Best wishes, Sue Eagle Sparkman (Mrs. George L.)

Notes for Martha Lucinda " Mattie " Black, Came to Texas:
By the date of her birth Martha Lucinda Black in 1871, and the fact that her father was married twice, first to Mary " Mollie" Pirtle in 1868 and Martha Lucinda Pirtle in 1875, Sue Eagle Sparkman beleives that Mary " Mollie" Pirtle is more than likely the mother of Martha Lucinda Black who married John Henry Patrick. In spite of the fact that previous verbal information stated that she was a daughter of Martha Lucinda Pirtle.
