Sparkman Marriages - Who are they?
I have copies of the following marriage licenses and notice, but have not been able to place any of the individuals.
From the "Hillsborough County, Florida - Marriage Records - Guide" site:
Louis C. L. Sparkman and Smithi Ann Ellerbee, 6 Feb 1879 by W. J. Campbell, Justice of the Peace.
Louis C. Sparkman and Joana (Joanna) Whitehurst, 29 Sep 1890 by Charles Donovan, Notary Public. [Found with the help of Patricia Carole Chancy Sullivan.]
Oscar Balo and Joanna Sparkman, 24 Dec 1892 by A. P. Brockway, Notary Public.
The following was found on the "LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA: Historical & Genealogical Records from Newspapers" site:

SPARKMAN, Cecelia
St. Petersburg TIMES
27 September 1910.
Thursday Mr. L. B. Sims and Miss Cecelia Sparkman were married in Tampa. They went over on the morning boat and returned the same evening. Not until the next day was it known that they had been married.
Mr. Sims has been employed by the A. C. L. and has been running [??] this city for some years. His wife came here with her parents from Tennessee sometime less than a year ago and has been living with her people in their home on 4th Avenue North.
The bride and groom will likely make this city their home, although Mr. Sims may be transferred to another run on the Coast Line that would compel him to live elsewhere.

Any information on who they might be and how they connect would be appreciated.
Thanks;
Sim Sparkman
