Notes - In the Federal Census of 1870, William E. Sprague is age 8.
In the Federal Census of 1900, William & Lenora Sprague, ages 39 & 33, are living at Coventry, RI. There are four children in the household: Bertha L., Oliver, Florence, & Everet F. According to census data, William & Lenora have been married 15 years, and Lenora has had 8 children, three of whom are still living. I believe Everett is William's son by a prior marriage.
In the Federal Census of 1910, William is age 50 and divorced, living at Warwick with married son Everett and his wife.
According to the 1900 Federal Census, William was born in August 1861. This also agrees with the 1870 census, in which he is 8 years old.
His middle name is given as Ellery in both of his marriage records at Coventry.
