SHARP, John Franklin 1869 - 1928

John Franklin Sharp was born April 8, 1869, on a farm three and one-half miles 
north of Clinton, and died at his home in Brownington, Feb. 9, 1928, being 58 
years, 10 months and one day old.  He spent his entire life in Henry and St. Clair 
counties with the exception of two years, which he spent in Kansas.  He was 
married to Alpha Edith Bennett, Dec. 23, 1900, and to this union three children 
were born.  One Ernest Perry, died in 1902, at the age of six months; the other 
two - Mrs. Dora Thelma Hosack, and Ellen Virginia Sharp, of the home, together 
with his wife, survive him.  He is also survived by two brothers and six sisters 
as follows: Charles Sharp, of Cherokee, Kans.; J. W. Sharp of Higginsville, Mo.; Mrs. 
E. Hinkle, of Marshfield, Mo.; Mrs. N. W. Allison, of Higginsville, Mo.; Mrs. Wm. J. 
McHale, of Denver, Colo.; Mrs. J. T. Dodson, of Brownington, Mo.; Mrs. Eva Garnett, 
of Osceola, Mo., and Mrs. George L. Richeson, of Pittsburg, Kans.  He is also 
survived by one grandchild, Cartha Jean Hosack.  Mr. Sharp had resided for a 
number of years in Brownington, and for the last six years has had the care of the 
school building.  He was a very highly respected citizen, a good neighbor, an 
affectionate husband, and a kind father to his children.  The beautiful floral 
offering and the large crowd of friends at the funeral, showed the esteem in 
which he was held by the whole community.  All the brothers and sister were 
present for the funeral except Mrs. McHale, of Denver, and several of them were 
at his bedside at the time of his death.  The funeral services were held at the 
Baptist church in Brownington, Friday p.m., conducted by James d. Briggs, of 
Deepwater, and the body was tenderly laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery near
