DEATH CLAIMS MANITOWOC GIRL AT CRANDON, WIS.,
Messages of Death of Miss Jean Sharp There,
After Week's Illness, a Shock to Friends Here Today
Friends in the city were shocked this morning by receipt of messages
from Crandon, Wis., announcing the death of Miss Jean Sharp, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Sharp, New York avenue, who has been engaged as
a teacher in the Crandonchools. Mrs. Sharp, who was summoned to
Crandon several days ago, was with her daughter when the end came,
and will accompany the remains here.
Pneumonia, which developed from a cold contracted a week ago caused
the death of Miss Sharp, who was a teacher in the local schools last
year and had been in charge of the Third and Fourth grades of Crandon
schools since Jan. 1. Messages received by Mr. and Mrs. Sharp last
week informed them of the illness of their daughter and Mrs. Sharp
left for Crandon at once. Miss Sharp's condition grew rapidly worse
and death came to her in an early hour this morning.
The death of Miss Sharp will be deeply deplored by a large circle of
friends in this city where she was popular. She was 22 years of age,
having observed her birthday anniversay last Saturday, Feb. 26. She
attended and graduated from the local schools and later graduated
from Milwaukee Normal school and was then engaged in teaching in the
schools in this city until her departure for Crandon.
Besides her parents, Miss Sharp is survived by one sister, Margaret,
of this city
The body will be brought here and the funeral will probably be held
from the late home on New York avenue. Announcement of the funeral
will be made later.
