Below is the obituary of "Minnowhead" Spradlin. I talked to him some years ago to see how we were related, but he wasn't for sure. I'm fairly sure he grew up in Pine Knot. His father was Henry Spradlin. He had brothers named Clarence, Darris, Howard and Eugene. Does anyone know who are his grandparents or great grandparents? Or maybe even further back? If your reply is too long, you can email me.
