Niles Republican, Thurs. Feb. 12, 1880, page 3
--Mr. Samuel Sharp, one of the oldest settlers in this vicinity, crossed the
dark river on Sunday last, passing away in his seventy-fourth year. Mr. Sharp
was a native of Highland county, Ohio.  At an early age he removed with his
parents to near Richmond, Wayne county, Indiana.  In 1827, he came to this place
in company with Morgan Wilson and Mr. Gray, father of  Esquire Bart. Gray, both
well known as early settlers.  Mr. Sharp remained here one season, returned to
his Indiana home, came back in 1835, located a farm in the bend of the river,
and has lived in this vicinity ever since.  He leaves four children, the oldest
49 years of age and the youngest 35.  Mr. Sharp was a member of the Disciple or
Christian Church, was a good, upright Christian man, respected and esteemed by
all who knew him.  He died in this city, at the residence of his son-in-law,
Jackson Dalrymple, and whose family desire us to return their heartfelt thanks
to the neighbors who kindness during Mr. Sharp's sickness will never be forgotten.
