Jacob Sharp, a prosperous farmer living six miles southwest of this city on Straight Creek, was found dead in the road near the Trial farm, two miles southwest of town, last Saturday, about three o'clock. Mr. Sharp was on his way to town with a load of apples, and was not long before his death occurred, sitting on the front end of the load, with his feet swinging down in front, the team going quietly along. A few minutes later Wm. Trial noticed the team slowly passing his house without a driver, and an investigation revealed the above facts. An inquest was held and it was found that he had been subject to heart disease, and the conclusion arrived at is that that was the cause of his death. In falling from the wagon, it was found that he fell between the wheels, and that the hind wheel passed over his head and neck, his neck having been broken either by the fall or by the wheel. Mr. Sharp was born in Kentucky sometime in August, 1833 being over 55 years old at the time of his death. He at one time joined church on probation, but had not yet been taken in as a full member. The deceased was the father of thirteen children, eleven of whom are still alive, a couple of the boys living in Indian Territory, and one in Texas. The funeral services, which were held at the house, did not occur until Tuesday, as it was hoped that all of the children would be able to attend, but those living in the Territory could not be present. Rev. Forbian, of Holton, conducted the services, after which the remains were laid at rest in the Muscotah cemetery. "Earth to earth, and dust to dust!"
