History
George Washington Sharp was working and lived with John Bair at the Richmond sawmill, and there met Lucinda.1 They were married on 3 Feb, 1865 at the ages of 19 and 16. After their marriage, they moved to a small cabin near High Creek and operated a sawmill. They were able to buy many archers of land, including the land where "Old Fort" was located, and built a small home.
In 1874, the whole family was sick with diphtheria. The sickness was terrible to Lucinda and was sick for several years. They sold much of their hard-earned land to pay for doctors to care for Lucinda.1
