Abraham & Lillie Sparks

Abraham Sparks (born 2/6/1856 and died 3/4/1920,son of Winwright Sparks and Rhoda Miracle) and Lillie Mobley Sparks (born 1894 and died 1956 daughter of Job Mobley and Delithe Lita Allen) and I am not for sure who the child is sitting on her lap. We can't figure it out because all of the kids wore dresses back then. We don't know if the child is the first or second child of Lillie's. Abraham was a lawyer in Clay County. He represented the Commonwealth of Clay County, Kentucky. He lived in Sexton Creek Area all his life and is buried on a hill behind the Corith Church (I think it is on Saddler Road). Abraham is the brother to Nathan Humpy Sparks that is in all of Kelly Morgan's Clay County books. Abraham and Lillie had 3 children together Alzie Byrd, Ceaser Sparks and Abraham Sparks Jr. Abraham was married before he married Lillie. He was married to Nannie Morgan and they had alot of children together. After Abraham died Lillie moved to Brookville, Indiana but she is buried in the Hensley Cemetery in Clay County.
