  He was buried in the McReynolds Cemetery near his parents. (Wisconsin-county listed below) The inscription on his tombstone reads: Solomon Sparks, son of Abel and Sarah, died March 17, 1800 (should be 1880-typo on original page), aged 67 years, 6 mo., 12 das." He left an estate valued at $15,000 which was divided among his three living brothers, his five living sisters, and the heirs of his four deceased sisters. So far as we know, Solomon Sparks never married. (Taken from the Sparks Quarterly-June 1987, VOL XXXV Whole NO. 138, page 3074 to about 3085.)
