Carmi W. Sharp.  Mr. Sharp is a native of West Virginia, born near
Parkersburg, June 27, 1846.  In 1856 he came with his parents to
Missouri, and settled in this county, on the farm where he now resides,
and engaged in its cultivation.  July 31, 1870, he was married to Miss
Harriet D. Carter, daughter of N. J. Carter, and a native of this 
county.  By this marriage they have five children living: Nathaniel
Carter, Sarah, Mary Gray, Lewis Green, and W. Gwinn.  His mother, an
aged lady in her 75th year, is living with him.  She is in full posses-
sion of all her faculties, and enjoying good health for a person of her
advanced age.  Mr. Sharp's home place is a beautiful one, well improved
consisting of 80 acres, upon which is a fine orchard which produces 
many different varieties of fruit.  He owns other farms besides this.
His father was foully murdered by three men, who entered his house in
February, 1865, and demanded money.  Upon being informed that he did 
not have any, they deliberately, shot him through the heart.  Mr. 
Sharp's postoffice address is Higginsville.
