Dear Sir:
Would you be kind enough to see if there are any cemetery inscriptions
for a Clara (Paepke) Vesperman and her husband (first name unknown)? I
have a picture of them taken in Grafton and am trying to track them down.
Alternate last name spellings might be Wesperman or Westerman. I would
appreciate anything you can come up with. Thank you. Paul

SPARROW, Joseph born 9 January 1887 in Park River, ND. I understand
that he (my Grandfather) was one of 12 children (6 boys and 6 girls?) born
to William and Mary Sparrow (nee CAMPBELL). In about 1907/8, he married
Hazel Mae ACKLEY (born 6 December 1893) who was born in Granite Falls Minnesota.
Their firstborn was born in Minnesota in 1908 and from there they moved
to Saskatchewan where their other 4 children were born. At this point I
have no idea how long the SPARROW family resided in or around Walsh County
or if any of them remained in the area. Any information would be
most appreciated, Joe Sparrow
