Greetings, descendants of Claus and Maria Sprick! We'll use this second blog space to post longer Sprick family documents and literature, and will occasionally route you here from the main family blog, www.thesprickfamily.blogspot.com. Think of this as the blogspot's archives collection and reading room. As always, send contributions (literary and photographic, not financial) to cousin Pam at pmmiller1@comcast.net.

Those who came before us

Obituaries and cemeteries hold a lot of family history. Here are some from the Sprick family. The top two photos are of Sprick family graves (Maria, Claus, Ed, Clarence) at the St. John's Lutheran Church cemetery in Lake City, Minn. (LeRoy, who was Catholic, is buried in the adjacent Catholic cemetery.) The next one is of Aunt Marion's grave at Fort Snelling National Cemetery; Marion was a U.S. Army nurse in World War II. (Uncle Wally is buried next to her.)

Next, a couple of newspaper obits that marked the passing of significant Spricks.

A reminder that clicking on an item will make it bigger and easier to read.
