Michael: The W. F. Spradlin that married my cousin Arlie Pearl Anthony, in 1909, is all I have on him. Pearle died in 1918, and I don't know where he went. To add to the confusion, some of them spelled it "Spradling". I will find some more on this and the Beene family and let you know in a few days. I'll talk to my cousin, Jewell Beene, who lives near Barney. She is getting near 85, and the best history book in Faulkner County.
