G. W. SHARP
Mr. G. W. Sharp was born in Winston County, Miss., December 21, 1855, where he lived until 1903, and he came to Bradley County, Ark., where he lived until August 6, 1912 when the Almighty called him home. Brother Sharp was a faithful servant and was ready to receive the summons, "Well done thy good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joys of our Lord." Brother Sharp was a consistent member of the Methodist church for thirty years and died a steward. He leaves a wife and nine children, three brothers, one sister and a host of friends to mourn his death. Weep not, loved ones; he is not dead but sleepeth.
