The hand of death has touched an
Audubon home and left its mark OF
sorrow. After an illness of several
months with heart trouble, Joel @.
Sharp passed peacefully away at his
home in this city, Friday, December
-, 1895, about o'clock a. M. Mr..
Sharp was a patient sufferer through
out his long illness, accepting his lot
with all the fortitude Of an earnest
christian, aad man who has learned
the lesson of life while shouldering a
musket III the grim and soul stirring
strife of the civil war. Surrounded by
loved ones who had administered to
his every want during his sickness, he
died as he had lived, with every thought
directed toward home and those he
had strived to make happy. How in
significant are the words of consolation
spoken by man to lessen the grief
caused bp the loss of husband and
father, taken away in the prime OF
years, but the knowledge that he is at
home in Jesus is the one consoling
thought.
Joel G, Sharp, son of Isaac and
Lydia Sharp, was born in Washington
county, January 80, 1SiS, and died at
Audubon, Iowa, December ID, 1895,
being AZ years, 10 months and IL days
old. During the late war he enlisted
in the IS9th Ohio infantry and at the
end OF the war received an honorable
discharge. Shortly after the war he
moved TO Keokpk, Iowa, Who're ne was
married to Emma Gipple, October IA,
1874: With their two daughters, Myrtle
and Rose, they moved to Audubon

to his memory at the funeral which oc-

The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Dudley, pastor of mis- church,

HE was christian man, each word
should be emphasized for he was
manly man, and u christlilxe christian,
unassuming, substantial, faithful; to
usa christian brother and when we
meet we miss him, but of such is the
