Prairie Grove Herald
Thursday, October 12, 1916
SHARP, Nancy Linton HANCOCK – Mrs. R.A. Sharp Died Wednesday – Mrs. Nancy Linton Sharp, wife of Mr. R.A. Sharp, died at her home about four miles southeast of Prairie Grove at 5 o’clock Wednesday afternoon of a few days’ illness of heart trouble. The deceased was before marriage Miss Nancy Linton Hancock and was born in Tennessee, September 30, 1845. On December 20, 1870, she was united in marriage to Mr. R.A. Sharp at Carthage, Missouri and to their present home in Arkansas she came as a bride. To this union were born six children, the eldest daughter, Mary Frances, dying in early childhood. The surviving children are Miss Evelyn Sharp of San Francisco, California, Mr. Alpheus Sharp of Poinsett County, Arkansas, Mr. John A. Sharp of New Sulphur, Mr. Albert Sidney Sharp of Floris, Oklahoma and Mr. James Edward Sharp who is a student at the University of Arkansas.
Mrs. Sharp was a woman possessed of many lovable traits of character and was much beloved by all who knew her. She lived a quiet retired life, looking ever to the best interests of her home and her family. Early in life she gave her heart to Jesus and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
The funeral service was held beneath the trees at the entrance to the family cemetery near her home, Rev. F.R. Hamilton officiating and her body was laid to rest beside her baby girl, who died many years ago. The newly made grave was banked with beautiful flowers.
