SHARP. At Castlewood, S. Dak., Bernal H. Sharp, manager of the Woodland station for the Western Creameries Company, was born July 2, 1885, a son of O. M. Sharp, who brought his family to California in 1903 and is one of the successful farmers in the Woodland district. At Black River Falls, Wis., where his parents moved when he was quite young, Bernal H. Sharp was educated in the public and high schools. From 1903, when he came to Yolo county, until November, 1909, he busied himself with farming and dairying, acquiring an intimate knowledge of everything pertaining to the manufacture of butter and to the preparation, care and sale of dairy goods generally. At the date last mentioned he was made manager at Woodland for the Western Creameries Company and began buying and shipping cream to the creamery of that company at Benicia, Solano county. Later, in connection with this work, he was also given supervision over the Madison station of the same concern. A young man of fine business ability and of undoubted integrity of purpose, he has won the confidence of all with whom he has had to deal, with the result that the business entrusted to him has been increasingly prosperous. In Rocklin, Placer county, Mr. Sharp married Miss Lucy Sommer, a native of Morton, Ill., and they have a daughter whom them have named Cora. In his political affiliations he is a Republican. As a citizen he has proven himself helpful to all worthy interests of the community.
