Sarah Sparks is buried on the north side of the old Shiloh School house. The school house was later and is still used for church and funeral services.
When I was a small child I remember asking my grandpa Dolphus Self, who at the time lived just under the hill from the church house, I asked him why there was just one grave in this little fenced in place. He told me that the 'old woman' (womern) wanted to be buried there so she could hear the little children play. At the time of her death the building was a school and church house.
