Ida Holbrook was born November 24, 1880, at Traphill, North Carolina,daughter of John Preston Holbrook (1847-1935) and Nancy E. (Bryan)Holbrook. John Preston was a son of William Holbrook (1815-1891) whomarried Sarah Sparks (1817-1902), oldest daughter of John Sparks, Jr. andMary (Fields) Sparks. John Sparks, Jr. (c1794-c1865) was a son of JohnSparks, Sr. (1753-1840) and Sarah (Shores) Sparks, of Wilkes County,North Carolina. (See pages 93-1014 of the QUARTERLY for
December 1955, Vol. III, No. 14.) John Sparks, Sr. was thus agreat-great-grandfather of Ida Holbrook.
Ida Holbrook married Wiley Reid Jones on August 17, 1910. He preceded herin death on January 13, 1964. They had no children.
Cousin Ida possessed a great knowledge of her Sparkses and through herextensive notes we have been able to tie together many family strandswhich otherwise would have remained as conjecture. The Association willmiss her greatly and we mourn her passing from our midst.
