WILLIAMSBURG WAIFS.

  The news of the death of Mr. Christian Sparr, of James Creek, 
Woodcock Valley, was confirmed by the announcement of the fact that his 
interment would be made here.  Mr. Sparr died from a paralytic stroke.  
The attack came on while he was returning home from one of his clock 
and watch repairing trips.  He fell and was found unconscious.  He was 
carried to his home, where he lingered until last Friday, when his soul 
left its earthly abode.  He was born near Williamsburg 66 years ago.  
His father's name was David Sparr.  He leaves a wife and two 
grandchildren.  He was interred in the Sparr cemetery, on the J. D. 
Hicks farm, on Sunday last.
