I am searching for the families of the Rev. W.D. (Watson D.)and Elizabeth(nee?) Sharp's 3 daughters, Iva C.(b.July 1893), Myrtle R.(b.Jan 1895) and Gracie D.(b.Aug.1896). There was also another daughter Pearl E.(b.July 1898), but I believe she died in childhood after age 1, in WV. W.D. Sharp was b. Oct. 1872 in WV, the son of Wm. W.Sharp and Elizabeth Barlow Sharp. He became a Methodist Minister and served in Bland Co. VA before moving to Union Co. Ark, where he was struck and killed by lightning Aug. 16, 1918.. His wife was b. Dec. 1868, in WV(?) and d. March 1926. They are buried in Union Co. ARK. Gracie D. married William S. Butts(b.1890) in 1916 in Union Co. Ark. Rev. W.D. performed the ceremony. William S. Butts was also a Methodist Minister. As of the 1930 census, William and Grace moved to Jackson Co. MO. and had at least 2 children. Mildred V(b.1922) and William R(b.1926). both born in MO.
