Notes - Poem Found by Naomi Williams, Descendant of Horatio Sharp:
The old farmer knocked at the Heavenly Gate
His face was scarred and old,
He stood before the man of fate for
Admission to the fold.
"What have you done?" St. Peter asked
"To gain admission here?"
"I have farmed the Wabash Bottoms, Sir,
for many and many a year."
The Pearly Gates swung open wide--
St. Peter touched the bell.
"Come in and choose your harp," he said,
"You've had your share of hell."
