From the 23 September 1823 "Village Register" of West Union, Ohio:

                       OBITUARY
          DIED, in child-bed, on Tuesday morning last, Mrs. JOHANNA SPARKS, 
consort of Mr. John Sparks, of this place, in the 23d year of her age.  She 
was an agreeable and loving companion; a dutiful daughter, and an affectionate 
sister.  Her mind previous to her death was much abstracted from the things of 
this world.  She was seduously engaged in reading her Bible - and was 
peculiarly fond of the book of Psalms.  Though she had never made application 
for church membership, yet her spiritual mindedness was such, that her 
intimate acquaintances had no doubt of her being a member of the mystical 
church of Christ.  May the Lord prepare every one of us, for the hour of our 
departure - and give us an happy admittance into our Lord and Saviour's 
everlasting kingdom.
