Dear List Members: I recently received copys from the ledger of my Gr.Grandfathers enrollment into the Spanish American War. The ledger contained these listings on the page ... Rank, Age, Height, Complexion, Eyes, Hair color, Town/County/State or Kingdom of birth, Occupation. There is more but my questions concerns Occupation. For one of the individuals listed his Occupation states that he is a "SPRINKLER". I'm not kidding. The writing is clear, ledgible in quality for design and very plain to see that the word is spelled ... [SPRINKLER]. What's a Sprinkler when it comes to occupation? This gentleman was 24 yrs old, single, from Illinois. I hope someone can help me because the thoughts running through my head as to what it could possibly be is TO WILD to describe. *laughing* A SPRINKLER???? Thank you, Shelia C.
