History of Arizona, page 598

One of the leading physicians in northeastern Arizona is Dr. 
W.S. Sharp, of McNary, Apache County, where he has built up a 
large practice and gained a high reputation for his professional 
ability.  The doctor was born in New Boston, Bowie County, 
Texas, on November 30, 1882 and is a son of J.S. and Suania
(Colam) Sharp, the former of whom was a farmer by occupation.  
Dr. Sharp attended the public schools at Texarkana, Texas and 
the high schools at Austin and Sherman, Colorado. He prepared 
for his life work by matriculating in the medical school of 
Tulane university at New Orleans, Louisiana from which he was 
graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1907. He at 
once entered practice in Louisiana where he  remained until 
1918 when he moved to el Paso, Texas which was the scene of his 
labors during the following eight years. In 1926 Dr. Sharp went 
to Los Angles, California as company physician for the Santa Fe 
Railroad remaining there until June 1928 when he came to McNary 
where he has since ministered to the physical ills of the 
people of this locality. Dr. B.J. Cole is his assistant.

On October 12, 1904 he married Maywin Harris of Gale Texas and 
they are the parents of six children: Jeffie, W.S. Jr., Maywood, 
Susan, Haines, Perry and Petty.
