[Harrison County]   [Cynthiana City and Precinct]

G. R. SHARPE, farmer, P. O. Lair's Station, is a native of Harrison
County, and son of George and Elizabeth (Ruddel) Sharpe; he was born in
1810.  His father was one of the early settlers of Bourbon County, was
born in Virginia, and at the age of twenty, in the year 1779, he moved to
Bourbon County, Ky., where he remained till [sic] the time of his death,
which occurred in 1846.  His wife was the daughter of Arch Ruddel, of
Virginia; she died in 1840, aged seventy-seven years; they were the
parents of nine children, one of whom is our subject, G. R.  He was born
and raised in the same house in which he now resides.  In 1844, he
married Miss Carolina Eeles, a native of Harrison County, and daughter
of James Eeles; by this union they had six children, two of whom are now
living, viz: George R. and James E.  His wife is a member of the Christian
Church at Ruddel's Mills.  He is the owner of 120 acres of land, called
"Spring Farm."  He is a Democrat.  He was at one time a magistrate, and
President of the Harrison County Agricultural Society. Mr. Sharpe has
always taken a very active part in the progress of his native county, and
today bears a name and reputation which is beyond reproach, and is most
respected by those who best know him.
