Notes - "Virgil Oscar Sharp was born May 4, 1880 in Gibson County, Indiana. He married Mary Elizabeth Barnett. Mary was born December 24, 1894 in Posey County, Indiana. Her parents were Edgar Wilhite and Gertrude Louise (Hedrick) Barnett. Virgil's grand niece, Naomi Williams, recalls that at one time Oscar lived across the Wabash River from Crowleyville, at Rochester, Illinois. He made home brew and families would buy it from him. The code name for the home brew was 'fish'. She says thahat sometimes a relative would stand on the Crowleyville banks of the Wabash River and holler over to Oscar, 'Hey, Oscar, have you got any fish?' If he did have some home brew, he would row across the river to get the relative, take them over to his place, and conduct business."
"Oscar and Mary were divorced later on. He died October 5, 1939 and is buried in Mt. Plesant Cemetary (sic) near Griffin, Posey Co., Indiana. Mary remarried, but she and her second husband are buried close to Oscar in the same cemetary (sic).
