Hi:

I found this obit on the web. Perhaps someone is interested.

OBITUARY OF JOSEPH SPRAGUE -- 1889

The following article appeared in the 24 May 1889 issue of The Clinton
Public.

Joseph Sprague, a resident of Barnett township for thirty-four years, died
last Sunday,
having suffered years of pain and affliction from a cancer near the right
eye. Eleven
months ago he went to Chicago for treatment and the surgeon found it
necessary to remove
his right eye .... Mr. Sprague was born in Gallipolis, Ohio, in the year
1820, and at his
death he was sixty-nine years of age. He was married in the year 1844, and
was the father
of ten children, six of whom, with his wife, survive him. He came to
Illinois in 1855 and
settled in Barnett township.
