Biography
Harvey Kay Sharpe was born in Campbell C. Tenn., July 28, 1854. He came to Kansas in Sept. 1857 with his Father (Anthony) and Mother (Elizabeth) and 10 brothers and sisters. The family settled on a parcel of Land about 5 miles NW of Axtell, Ks. He began early in life to "earn his own way", having taken up the trade of carpenter. At the age of 14, he was appointed to supervise the construction of several local buildings and continued to ply that trade for several years. He was elected to the position of Justice of the peace for St. Bridget Township while in his early 20's. In about 1875, He moved to Beattie where he started in the furniture business. In about 1878 he moved the business to Axtell . in 1882 he was elected as Marysville's County Surveyor, serving one term and In 1883 he was elected Register of Deeds, serving two terms. He married Cicly Totten in 1871, she passed away in 1883. In 1886 He remarried to Anna Millikan. Anna's father (Nathaniel Millikan) was a prominent attorney and advised Harvey to study Law. He did so, was admitted to the Bar and began practicing law locally, during this time he was also an attorney for the St, Joseph and Grand Island railway. In the mid 90's he developed a kidney ailment (brights disease) but he continued to work in Axtell as an Attorney.

Harvey was my paternal grandfather. I have many of his personal papers and effects. One item of interest is a petition, signed by veterans of the late war (Civil War), that he submitted to the Kansas Governor asking for consideration for an appointment to a military position for the next regiment organized in the state. While is is undated, it named the Governor as Leedy who was Governor from 1897 to 1899 so I date in within that time period. The petition is signed by over 100 veterans of the Civil War. Among the signees I find a JEHU Sharpe and a George Sharpe both vets from Co. M, first Col. Vol. Cav. who I believe are his older brothers.
