Please compare Matthew Sproule's profile, (Sproule-71) with Matthew Sproul (Sproul-62). The two profiles probably represent the same person. However the spellings of the last name must have caused the duplication. The obituary source might have been the originator of the contradiction.
Importantly, the two profiles have different wives' name. - "Margaret Muirhead" is named as Matthew Sproule's (71) wife. - "Nancy Reid" is named as Matthew Sproul's (62) wife.
This Matthew Sproul"e" must have different parentage. This Matthew is not the son of David Sproul-69.
If you check the sources and bio of Sproul-62, (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sproul-62), you will find it comprehensively researched, the biography fleshed out, the lineage extensive, and the images incontrovertible.
