- From David Condit, correspondent, note of June 25, 2014
Obviously Ezra W. Sprague did not know what year he wasborn or the 1855 census was actually taken in 1856. If the census was taken in 1855 he was born in Feb 1855 butI do see on the 1900 US census where he says he was born inFeb 1856 and his gravestone says that also.

NOTE: The 1860 census appears to have serious errors. A comparison of names and ages across the 1850 to 1880census shows major inconsistencies in the 1860 census.

Mr. Sprague's boyhood was spent in Pleasant Valley abouttwo miles below New Kingston but he finally settled in thetown of Hardenburgh, Ulster county, where the remainder ofhis life was spent. He was a member of the town board,being justice of the peace for many years. He also was aman often chosen for trustee in the school district inwhich he lived. These offices he filled at the time of hisdeath. In Mr. Sprague's death the town has lost a usefulman; the neighbors, a kind and accommodating friend; thehome, a good husband and loving father.
He was a carpenter by trade, being one of the best andfastest workmen in the line of framing. He could frame atimber here, there, and the other place and on the day ofraising when the timbers were brought together could tellwhere every stick belonged. Many of the large frame barnsin this section were put up under his supervision.
