General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Sharp


When she married, she determined that no whisky should be used about her home. She met with great opposition, especially when her husband informed the neighbors that he was going to raise a log-barn without whisky. But the point was carried, and thereafter no whisky was used on the farm.
