Biography

Obituary: 02-08-1906

Died - Mrs. Francis Sharp. At her home near McDougall, La. on Saturday, February 3rd, at 6:30 p.m. Francis Bell, wife of J. Oliver Sharp, died at the age of 64 years.

Mrs. Sharp came as one of the best and oldest families in the Parish of Washington. Of a kindly, loving disposition, her thoughts always seemed to center on doing some kindly act. In her home she was the one to whom all turned for comfort and counsel, for she was gifted with a good and sensible _____.

She leaves a husband, two sons, Leon and Levi Sharp; five daughters, Isabel (Mrs. Minor Gardner); Jenny (Mrs. Henry Yates); Misses Leah, Kate, and Carmelia Sharp. Besides these she leaves a host of friends to mourn her loss.

To the bereaved family we extend out heart felt sympathy. From a friend, F.R. MeD.

The New Era also extends its sympathy to those who have separated from a loving mother and a good friend. - Editor^[1]
