SHARP Elmer L. Sharp is a young man who has passed the greater portion of his life in Washington, coming to Stevens county in territorial days. The state of his nativity is Michigan, having been born in Newaygo county, April 19, 1881. His parents were M.L. and Amelia J. (Saunders) Sharp, his mother a native of Michigan, the father of Canada. They are mentioned else- where in this work. Elmer L. Sharp was one of nine children, all of whom are mentioned in the father's biographical history, except William, who is deceased. Our subject is now residing at Deer Lake, Stevens county. He attended the public schools of Loonlake until the age of sixteen years, when he began working for his parents, and with whom he remained until he was twenty-two years old. He then rented his father's farm which he now conducts, having eighty acres under cultivation and a fair bunch of cattle. Mr. Sharp is a Republican, and decidedly well informed on the live issues of the day. In local politics he manifests a keen interest, and is an ener- getic, liberal, and public spirited young man. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, material may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material, AND permission is obtained from the contributor of the file.
