    «b» CEVASTIAN BURTON SPRAGUE «/b» C. BURTON SPRAGUE was born in Ira November 5th, 1830. He is the youngest child of Parmenas and Christina Sprague. His father was born in Saratoga county October 18th, 1781. His father was married three times. His first wife, Rebecca Nobles, was born February 19th, 1787. They married February 14th, 1804. She died December 2d, 1807. By this wife he had three daughters. His second wife, Mary A. Potter, was born July 4th, 1787; married April 30th, 1809. She died October 9th, 1828. By her he had seven children- five girls and two boys. His third wife, Christina, was born November 12th, 1796. They were married December 17th, 1829. She died November 13th, 1873. The subject of this sketch is the result of this union. His father came to this County about the year 1806, and settled on lot 20 in the town of Ira. He purchased 100 acres of land and resided upon it until his death, which occurred June 11th, 1871, at the advanced age of nearly ninety years. C. B. Sprague lived at home with his father until he was seventeen years old; then worked out two years by the month. He attended the district school till he was fourteen, and after that time had no schooling except three terms that he attended in the Academy at Red Creek, Wayne county, when he was twenty years of age. He then taught school two winters. After that he worked land on shares and burned lime. Then he purchased the old homestead of his brother, at that time containing forty-eight acres of land, and in addition to that fifty acres adjoining. He has added from time to time by purchase till now his farm contains 146 acres. He is still residing on that place. October 16th, 1853, he married Miss Elizabeth D. Campbell, daughter of William and Polly Campbell, of the village of Cato. There have been born to them four children, three of whom are living, as follows: Emma L., born January 9th, 1855; Clara E., born January 31st, 1859; and Willie Burt, born February 5th, 1869. In politics Mr. Sprague is a staunch Republican. He is a member of the Baptist church in Ira, was clerk of that church for many years, and for eleven years was the Superintendent of its Sunday school. Mr. Sprague has been successful in life, notwithstanding that for many years he has been afflicted with a partial failure of his eye sight. He is a self-made man, and all that he is or has in this world he owes to his own energy and talents. A view of his beautiful home may be seen on another page of this work.

    Notes:

    Sprague Families in America", by Dr. Warren Vincent Sprague, page 65.
    Parmenas Sprague served in the War of 1812; lived as a farmer at Ira, NY.

    From Virginia Sprague Webster, correspondent. One discrepancy here: His tombstone states that he died 11 June 1871 and on p. 2 of "Hannibal History", it says, "Parmenus died on June 11, 1871 and is buried alongside his wives in the small rural cemetery in Bethel". This is the old Sprague burying ground.

    From Marilyn Owen, correspondent. He is on the 1855 NY State census for Cayuga Co., age 73, born in CT. His 3rd wife Christina, is age 57, born in Saratoga Co., NY. Dolston Sprague [a son by wife #2, Mary Potter], is in the home, age 36, born in Cayuga Co. His occupation is "insurance agent". Living next door is Parmenus' and Christina's son, C.B. Sprague, with his wife and baby daughter. On the 1865 NY state census, Parmenus & Christina are living with their son, C. Burton Sprague and family. Parmenus is age 83; Christina is age 58. Parmenus died in 1871 and is buried in the Bethel Cemetery, in Hannibal, Oswego County, on land which belonged to his father, Thomas Sprague. Parmenus' monument is large and imposing.
