Obituary of William SHARP, Macoupin County Illinois ©2007 Carol Cyrus

Name of Deceased: SHARP, William
Name of Newspaper: Macoupin Enquirer
Date of Obituary: 1875
Obituary: Died, at the residence of John SHARP, near Sharpsburg, Christian County, Illinois, June 20th, 1875, in the seventy-seventh year of his age, William SHARP. Mr. SHARP was born in Clayboourne County, Tennessee, June 3d 1799. Was married to Miss Barbara HUNTER, Oct. 21st, 1818, by whom he raised ten children, five boys and five girls. He emigrated to Macoupin county, Ill., in the fall of 1836 and two years afterward sustained perhaps the greatest loss subject to man--that of his devoted wife. He was afterwards married to his second wife, Elizabeth WILSON, and removed to Barton County, Missouri, in 1869. His wife being of feeble health, he returned to Illinois, but contrary to his expectations, she lived but a short time. Of his last wife he had five children, of whom two are living. In all he has eleven children who survive him, among whom are our worthy citizens, John, Henry, and Riley SHARP, who are well known in this county. The time must come when all will have been said to exalt the character of any individal of our race. But too much cannot be said in praiseworthy terms of the character of William SHARP, who always taught by example what he held to by precept. For forty years he has been a model for the old and young, being a professor of religion and a member of the Baptist church, in which he held the position of Deacon for a number of years. He always had a good word for everybody and a greeting that none but the pure in heart entertain. His little grand children ever received the tender caresses of his palsied and feeble hands, and with what extreme respect did all reverence their "Grandpa". He was of sterling integrity, and did not wish that any should be idle. He has walked steadfast like Jacob of old, until his time had come, when "Mysterious are His ways, whose power Brings forth that unexpected hour, When minds that never met before Shall meet, unite, and part no more." And now that his children have been called to part with their dear and aged parent, who was their shield and protector while young, their friendly adviser through every affliction, may they be consoled and remember that while it is theirs to mourn, it is his to be happy in realms above, where sickness and death never come.
