 ... a family of nine children born to William and Anna (Montgomery) Sprowls, both natives of Pennsylvania, where they spent their entire lives. The father was a farmer and made a specialty of raising Spanish Merino sheep, being a good judge of those animals and well versed in proper methods of breeding and raising them. He brought his flock to a high standard, and the subject of this sketch recalls that at one time his father had a flock of two hundred ewes, each yielding six pounds of wool.
