My grandmother was born here in 1918 I believe. Her family name is Perry. I am looking for information about the city, possible familial connections still there and I am starting here. Anyone have any idea about where else I can look?

Check this site for more pictures and info.

Curious about the background to this iconic photo of the general store. Can anyone name any of the specific people in that photo? What was this place like? Were most of the people that lived there Sharecroppers? I notice there are bars on the windows, was this a dangerous community? When was the little store built?

Ah, the good ol' days before that nasty stuff called Pepsi started creeping in...

My Mom, Eleanor Mitchell Butler, and most of her brothers and sisters were born "in Sprott", up the dirt road from the store. Mom was born in 1918.

Bravo!

There once was a lady from Sprott
Whose friends knew her simply as Dot.
When asked whence the label
She spawned a short fable
And replied "It's a sinister plot."

Obviously not a lot has changed at that interchange over the years.

There was a gaunt yogi from Sprott
Who asked the boys, Am I not hot?
Whenever she lotused,
The boys winced and noticed,
And thought to themselves, "You are knot."

There was a young lady from Sprott ...

I wonder if this is all there was to Sprott.

On the map, Sprott
Is just a dot.
