| Notes |
- The Obituary of William Richard Sharp found in the Daily Oklahoman on
March 2, 1948. (he died March, 1,1948) on page 3
William Richard Sharp 80 of 1010 Eubanks, died in his home of a heart
ailment. He came to Oklahoma City in 1940 after retiring from farming in
Clegg, Texas.
Born in Clay County, ( I have Murphy, North Carolina or Cherokee County
every where else. this could just be a mistake but worth looking into. )
North Carolina, October 27, 1867, Sharp moved to Blanchard, Oklahoma in
1912. He farmed there untill 1937 when he moved to Texas.
Survivors are his wife, Nancy, a son, Don Russell and a daughter, Opal
May, of the home Address: Sons Guy C. Sharp of Los Angeles, California,
and Ray C. Sharp, San Antonio, Texas: Daughters Julia Maxine Woolf, Will
Rogers field, and Mary Ruby Sherburne, 3004 N. Robinson and 8
grandchildren. Services will be announced by Perrine funeral home.
William Richard Sharp is buried in Blanchard ,Oklahoma in Blanchard
Cemetery with wife, Nancy and children Don, Opal. Maxine Woolf is buried
there also but with her husband.
in the 1920 Oklahoma census they have a Mary Griffin 13 years of
age living with William Richard Sharp's family. the census states she was
born in
Arkansas. The 1910 census shows a Owen Griffin living at John W. Sharp's
home at the time . The boy was 16 years old. Could he be the brother of
Mary? In the obituary of Mary Ruby Sharp Sherburne it listed 3 sisters
still living. Mary or "Hoover" only had two. It listed Mary Griffin as a
sister. Dad stated that back then people would take children in and raise
them as their own without really adopting them. this must have been the
case of mary Griffin and her brother. Dad also states that William
Richard Sharp and his wife Nancy were having a hard time in Georgia and
his younger brother John W. invited him to come out to Oklahoma and live
with them. Dad also stated the farm in Blanchard that his Grandfather had
really belonged to his brother John. Dad states that John owned a store
in Blanchard. I did find in a book about McClain County of early
businesses in Blanchard. They listed a G. W. Sharp as owning a Livery
and Feed Store. They may have made a mistake and it should have been a J.
instead of a G.
