John A.W. Spragens: Man of Mystery

What is known about John A. W. Spragens at the moment is even less than I know about Ralpha.

I know that in 1920 he is boarding in a close county to where he was born and raised.  He is 22 years old, single, and still working the profession he grew up with, farming.

As a result of a hard life on a farm, John is not able to read or write which is confirmed by an "X" as his signature on his WWI draft card.

I can find no records after this of where he was living, if he married or had children.  There is a possibility that he started going by the "A" or "W" in his name and this is something I must be prepared to work with.
