| Notes |
- "History of the Sparks Family":
First student of schoolhouse in the Sparks Settlement. Teacher was Miss Mary Page from Sabine Pass, who was paid $10 per month for teaching Emma and she was allowed to secure other children to teach. In time a one-room school was built by the settlers and the teacher was given room and board by the parents of her students. The school began in 1881 and is reported to be the first one to be located in what is now the City of Port Arthur. Records do not show how long the village school operated, but it is believed that it existed up to the time the settlement was abandoned in the early 1890s.
