Sharpe was born on March 4, 1874, at Belleville, Illinois, and educated in Boston, Philadelphia and St. Louis, being graduated from a high school in the city last named and afterward attending college. He studied chemistry and assaying under the direction of his father, and worked in the office with him many years, occasionally going out and doing assaying in a number of mining camps on his own account. He located many of the claims which form the holdings of the two mining companies of which he is now superintendent. Having often and abundantly demonstrated his knowledge of the business and his capacity to carry it on, at the death of this father he was chosen to succeed him and placed in charge of both the Latchaw and the Mercur-Mercury companies. He has filled the positions with great credit to himself and advantage to the companies. The work of both has progressed rapidly and successfully under his management. Politically, like his father, he is not an active partisan. Fraternally he belongs to the order of Elks, holding his membership in the lodge of the order at Leadville.
