History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 517. [Bourbon County] [Millersburg Precinct] HAMLET C. SHARP, gauger; P. O. Millersburg; was born in Nicholas County, Ky., Dec, 31, 1858, to John W. and Charity C. (Baskett) Sharp, (see history). Hamlet began his education in the common schools of Nicholas County, and completed with a three-year's course in the Wesleyan College at Millersburg. He was appointed Government storekeeper Jan. 1, 1879, and gauger in March, 1881, which position he still retains. He was married in Bourbon County, April 20, 1881, to Miss Belle G. Greene, who was born June 6, 1862, to Robt. P. and Molly E. (Current) Greene, both natives of Bourbon County, the former born in 1837, the latter in 1847. On Dec. 1, 1881, Mr. Sharp entered into partnership with Jas. M. Collier, at Millersburg, and in addition to attending to the duties of gauger, is now engaged in selling lumber, coal, salt and lime. Owing to his abilities as a business man he has assisted in building up a large and steadily increasing business. He is a very energetic and enterprising business man, and well worthy of the high esteem in which he is held by the community. In politics he is a Republican.
