Kathleen:
I have a woman named Leura Sparks, who is sometimes listed as Laura Sparks.
The name swings between Laura and Leura in several reports, Leura is on the
tombstone.
This was Leura/Laura Tichenor married Hiram married Hiram Sparks in Vigo
County IN. (This Leura/Laura is my 3rd Great Grandmother.)
They had a son, Albert Wesley Sparks who married Letitia Sparks Miles and
they had a daughter named Leura V. Sparks who married James Balfe in Vigo
County. This Leura/Laura Sparks is my Great Grandmother. This person's name
swings back and forth between Laura and Leura also, Leura is on her
tombstone also.
All these people lived, died, and are buried in Vigo County IN.
Note: Variations of the name have appeared in successive generations as
Leura, Leora, Leeora, and Leanne, some of whom are alive at this time.

I see that you have the surname of SPARKS for Vigo Co. I am very
interested
in a Laura SPARKS who lived in Vigo Co. Is she in your family tree?
Thanks,
Kathleen
