SHARP, Simeon
Sim Sharp Dies of Heart Attack
Funeral services were held in Eagle Thursday morning for Simeon Sharp, who died suddenly early Monday morning, following a heart attack in the Sharp Cafe in Eagle.
Mr. Sharp for the past 16 years a resident of Eagle, had apparently been in good health, and the attack struck him about 5:30 Monday morning. He was found ill in the back part of the cafe when George Carlow came in to open the cafe for the day. Shortly after Mr. Carlow came in, Mr. sharp fell unconscious and died 20 minutes later, before a doctor could be summoned - there was, by the way, no doctor in town.
Born in Olmstead, Ohio, on April 19, he had resided in Colorado since early childhood, living on the eastern slope until 16 years ago, when he joined his brother L. C. Sharp, in Eagle, who preceded him in death. He has been associated in business with Mr. Carlow in the cafe and in Sharp's pool hall for a number of years, and has made a host of freinds during his residence here. He was quiet, unassuming, attending strictly to his own affairs, and never had a bad word to say of any one.
Burial was in the Eagle cemetery Thursday morning.
Surviving are two sisters, Nettie Weaver of Idaho Springs and Carrie Helzer of Oakland, Neb.; and two brothers, Nathan of Denver, and Clayton of Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Weaver and Nathan Sharp came to Eagle to be present at the funeral.
