This is a good reminder. It will benefit all researchers if sources are identified fully. If a book -- by author, title, year and the geographic area it covers. There are a number of Sharp/Sharpe genealogies. The amount of time needed to do this is minimal (it is easy to cut and paste from notes or a footnote) and will reduce the number of e-mails asking for more information. a. sharp In a message dated 06-Feb-02 12:15:11 Eastern Standard Time, aburba@webtv.net writes: << From: aburba@webtv.net (Audrey Burba) Is the name of the book Sharpe Genealogy or is there a specific name and what areas does it cover? >>

I am also searching for a Rufus Sharp. He was born ca 1833 in Alabama. The 1860 census of Russell Co., AL shows Rufus A. in the household of his father, John F. Sharp. Rufus was age 27. His occupation was school teacher. A Rufus Sharp enlisted in the 1st City Battalion, Ga. Infantry at Columbus, Ga. which is just across the state line from Russell Co. Is this the same Rufus? Did he survive the War? The 1866 state census of Alabama shows that two members of John F. Sharp's family did not survive the War. I have not been able to find any reference to Rufus A. Sharp after the 1860 census.

While doing volunteer data entry at our local library in Ontario, California, I came across these obituary articles which might be of some interest to someone on this list. This does not relate to any surname that I am researching personally. Nancy Bodies of 2 War Dead Returning Among the kin of 2,812 service men whose bodies will arrive in their homeland this Friday, February 12, at San Francisco aboard the U.S. Army Transport Cardinal O'Donnell, are Mr and Mrs. Emil G. Steinow, 202 East A. street and Mrs. Martha D. Scott, 371 D street, Chino. [I did not include obit of Steinow here]. Mrs. Scott's son, CMS Elmer Sharp, enlisted in the navy in 1933. He also was among the first to feel the shock of war, being stationed in the Philippines at the Cavette naval air base on that fateful December 7. The last word ever received from him was a letter mailed on November 30, 1941 in the islands. Young Sharp became a prisoner of war at the fall of Corregidor early in 1942. In 1944, his mother received word through the Red Cross that he had died of dysentery on December 14, 1942 in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, Camp Hoten, Mukden, Manchuria. He was a graduate of Chino high school and before the war saw naval duty aboard the U.S.H.Holland and U.S. Henderson and in Chinese and Philippine waters. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. The Daily Report, Ontario, California February 10, 1948 Memorial services for CMS Elmer Sharp, son of Mrs. Martha Bell Scott, Chino, will be held at the Griffith-Heinauer chapel in Chino, Friday, 8 p.m., conducted by the Rev. L. J. B. Taber. The remains of the young war veteran have been cremated and the urn will be interred at Loma Vista cemetery between Brea and Fullerton, Saturday, 10 a.m. with gravside rites conducted by Chino post of the American Legion. CMS Sharp was a veteran of the navy and was on duty at Cavite in the Philippines when the Japanese struck. He was taken prisoner and died from illness in camp December 14, 1942. The Daily Report, Ontario, California March 17, 1948
