SAMPSON SHARP - Obituary

Sampson Sharp

The East Liverpool Tribune


At the age of 83, Sampson Sharp, for more than 30 years a resident of this city died Monday night (Feb. 26, 1906) at the home of his son, George Sharp, in Jonesville, Minn. where he had been living for the past three years. The end came at 7 o'clock and was due to a stroke of paralysis following a brief illness.

Word of his death was telegraphed to the Morning Tribune by the son, George H. Sharp, a few hours after it occurred, but the message was not delivered at this office until the next morning. The message stated the cause and hour of death, and that the remains would arrive at East Liverpool Wednesday evening.

Mr. Sharp was a native of England, but came to America at an early age. He worked in the coal mines for several years in his mother country and was said to be exceedingly well posted in mining. He came to Pittsburg first upon his arrival and latter went to Salineville, where he uncovered the first coal ever mined in that community. He was a promoter of the Salineville mine and was a citizen of that town for 29 years.

From Salineville he came to East Liverpool, engaging in the cola business with Joseph Turnbull, long since deceased. The headquarters and coal yard of the company were for several years located at the foot of Washington street, subsequently the company dissolved partnership. Mr. Sharp opened up offices at the foot of Broadway and on the Horn switch. Business reverses later compelled home to relinquish his occupation for another. He found employment at the Brunt and K. T. & K. Potteries company as a night watchman, being in the employ of the latter firm last.

He was a man of vigorous vitality and was remarkably well preserved up to his 80th year, when he was able to get around with the agility of one of twenty or thirty years younger. He was temperate in his habits and to this he was often wont to ascribe his health and longevity. All who knew him respected him and the news of his death was learned with feelings of regret.

He is survived by the following children: George of Jonesville, Mich.; Mrs. Sarah Maple of Allegheny; Mrs. Lizzie Watkins of Connellsville, Pa.; Mrs. Anna Rhodes of Waynesburg, O,; James Sharp; of this city.

Worshipful C. H. Schell of Riddle lodge No. 315, F. & A. M. received a message yesterday from the master of the Jonesville, Mich., Masonic lodge, also announcing the death of Sampson Sharp, and stating that their lodge would escort his remains to the train and that his son, George H. Sharp and family, of Jonesville, would accompany the remains to the city.

A special meeting of Riddle lodge was called last evening for the purpose of making arrangements for the funeral of Mr. Sharp. As the lodge had previously made arrangements for a session commencing at 4 o'clock this afternoon, it was decided that the lodge would adjourn and meet the remains at the station on the arrival of the evening train, and escort their deceased brother to the lodge room, where the remains will lie in state under Masonic guard until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, when Masonic funeral services will be held, conducted by Worshipful Master Schell.

A most cordial and hearty invitation is extended to all friends of the late Mr. Sharp, and especially to all older residents of East Liverpool to attend the funeral services at the Masonic lodge room.

Mr. Sharp having no immediate relatives living in the city at this time to whose home his remains could be taken, it was thought most fitting that they should be taken to the Masonic lodge room, where Mr. Sharp was a most frequent attendant.

Interment will be made at Riverview cemetery in the family lot where the beautiful Masonic burial services will be observed.

PNEUMONIA CLAIMS SAMUEL MANOR AFTER ONE WEEK'S ILLNESS

Aged and highly Respected Resident of City Passed Away Saturday Night.

WAS EMPLOYED AT K. T. & K.

Death came peacefully Saturday night (Feb. 10, 1906) to Samuel Manor, one of East Liverpool's oldest and most highly respected citizens, who succumbed to an attack of pleural pneumonia, at his home171 Sixth street. He had been ill only one week. Had he lived until July 26, he would have celebrated his 73rd birthday. He was born in Brooke county, West Virginia, and had been a resident of this city 40 years, being a familiar figure to almost every man, woman and child.

For the last 22 years of his life he had been in the active employ of the Knowles, Taylor & Knowles Potteries company, in the capacity of foreman of the dipping, brushing and stamping departments, and in point of service he was the firm's oldest hand.

The funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at his late residence, the Rev. J. C. Taggart of the First United Presbyterian church, the Rev. W. H. Clark of Calcutta and the Rev. Edward McMillin of the First Presbyterian church of this city officiating. Friends will be permitted to view the remains this evening between the hours of 7 and 10.

Mr. Manor was quiet and unassuming in character, a thorough Christian, and a man who was greatly devoted to his family. He attended the First United Presbyterian church and was one of the oldest members in the congregation. He was a constant attendant upon divine services and seldom missed church except when detained at home by sickness.

He came to the city soon after the close of the war and later embarked in the grocery business with Saul Faulk, in the Odd Fellows block, corner of Fifth and Washington streets. Subsequently he retired from the grocery business and took up contract drilling of oil and gas wells. It is said that some of the very first gas and oil wells drilled along the Ohio Valley, between East Liverpool and Steubenville, were sunk by Mr. Manor. He erected a small machine shop at the corner of Walnut and East Fourth streets, where the White Front grocery now stands, while engaged in this business, subsequently disposing of his interests in the place to Monroe Patterson. It was in this little shop that Mr. Patterson got his first start in the business which he has since followed.

Mr. Manor accepted employment with the K. T. & K. Potteries company in 1884, and he enjoyed the warmest esteem and regard of its management.

He is survived by his wife and four sons and four daughters, as follows: John M. manager Golding & Sons Flint work; James W., bookkeeper of the same plant; Joseph F., manager of the Huntington Pottery Co., Huntington, W.Va.; Clarence S., pastor of the Harmony United Presbyterian church, Harrisville, Pa.; Mrs. Emma ward, of Ingram, Pa.; Alda, Jennie and Elizabeth Manor, of this city.
