Mr. Sproull was born at Sheldon, Ill., in 1887, a son of Jerry and Maria (Hamilton) Sproull, the former of whom survives, making his home in Mazon Township, being a man of substance in his community. Charles Hamilton Sproull attended school in Mazon Township, and later in Indiana, and assisted his father until he was twenty-two years old. At that time he commenced working as a farmer on his own account, with gratifying results, and he has been on his present farm since 1909. In the conduct of this farm Mr. Sproull shows that he has gone into the matter of farming scientifically and his experiments are resulting so favorably that he is fast taking a front rank among the leading agriculturalists of the county. In political affairs he has ranged himself with the Progressives, and will doubtless be heard from in the future in local affairs. pages 901-902 Additional Comments: Source: History of Grundy County, Illinois, Chicago: Munsell Publishing Co.
