Mrs. C.H. Sharp.
Mrs. C.H. Sharp died at her home in
Paola, Kansas, Monday morning. The body was brought to Allen on No.
3 Tuesday afternoon and buried made in Allen cemetery. A short service
was held at the cemetery conducted by Rev. Conrad assisted by Rev. Keast.
A large crowd of sympathizing friends was in attendance at the cemetery.
Mrs. Sharp was well known to the people here, as with Mr. Sharp they
lived here a good many years. She was a lady who was highly esteemed
by all who knew her.
She leaves a husband and three children, one an infant scarcely an
hour old at her death, to mourn her loss. The sympathy of all goes out
to the grief stricken husband and children in the loss of a loving wife and
mother.

Obituary
Dora Clousing was born March 28, 1874,
near where the old Santa Fe Trail crosses Bluff Creek, northwest of Bushong.
She grew to womanhood on the old homestead, her childhood days being spent
in the manner usual with children of those earlier days.
She was married to Clarence H. Sharp on January 27, 1897, and began
housekeeping in Allen. They afterward lived in Kansas City, returning
to Allen later where they lived for several years. A few years ago they
moved to Paola where Mr. Sharp was employed in a monument works. About
two years ago they went to Oklahoma where they remained a few months, returning
to Paola again where they were living at the time of her death, which occurred
July 4, 1910.
Besides a husband and three sons, she leaves a mother, Mrs. Eden
of Colorado; a brother, Ira Clousing, of Admire; a half-sister, Mrs. Galvin,
of Kansas City; a half-brother, Albert Eden, of Colorado, to mourn her loss.
Her father died when she was a little child and also a brother since then.
Mrs. Sharp was a faithful friend, a loving wife, and ideal mother, a perfect
neighbor and a pure and lovely character, whose memory will long be remembered
and cherished by those who knew her.
During her residence in Paola Mrs. Sharp won many friends by her
lovable character, who did all in their power to make her last hours comfortable
and help the husband and children bear the crushing shock.
