Steven Talkington Sharp

SHARP, Stephen T. - S.T. Sharp, another good citizen of our vicinity, passed out on the 27th, to the bright and fair there is no pain, parting, sighing or grief or parting is known. He had been in bed for a long time with that dreadful disease, consumption. He leaves a wife and seven children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He was a faithful Christian, and those who were with him in his last hours spoke of his religious admonitions to others stating that he had overcome the world and wanted all of his family and friends to live such a life that they, too, some day be permitted to meet him in glory. [Fayetteville Democrat 2/6/1908]
