General Notes: Husband - Thomas E. Sharp

---

He was born at the head of the Green Spring in Newton township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He was reared on the farm and received an academic education, but owing to delicate health never engaged actively in any business or avocation. At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted in Company A, 7th Pennsylvania Reserves. While his regiment was in camp in Virginia, he was discharged, and shortly afterward appointed a Captain in the 65th Regiment of United States Colored Troops, and served in that capacity in the Mississippi Valley until the close of the war. He was mustered out of service at Baton Rouge, Louisianna, in the fall of 1865. In 1866 he was appointed a Second Lieutenant in the United States Infantry, and continued in the service of the regular army until he reached his retirement, serving in Texas, in the Department of the Lakes, Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and the Columbus Barracks, Ohio. At the commencement of the Spanish-American War he was stationed at Pittsburgh as recruiting officer. He was retired in 1898, with the rank of Major.
