In Uncle Ed's World War II scrapbook, we found a page labeled "World War No. 1: How Times Have Changed." On it were a couple of World War I photos of this fellow, labeled Henry Sprick. Which Henry Sprick, we wonder? We're hoping our highly paid senior investigative staff (Elmer, Anna and Kate) can solve this mystery for us.
Addendum: The scrapblog's senior historian, investigative reporter, photographer and Solomonesque spirit, E.W. Sprick, writes to us that Henry Sprick was the half-brother of our grandfather, Claus Sprick, and that he survived World War I only to be killed by a falling tree. Such are life's ironies.
Addendum II: Nancy Sprick Kohrs, a distant relative, kindly sent us this information: "Henry Sprick is the son of Fred and Margaret Sprick ( Fred's second wife). He was my dad's uncle. I have similar photos of Henry. His full name was Henry William Sprick, born 08 Feb 1889 and deceased on 16 Feb 1961. He was married to Amanda Rademacher. Their children were Rogene, Richard and Kenneth." Thanks, Nancy!
