During all these years Mr. Sharpe never had an accident or a black mark against him. Until a few weeks prior to his death, he held the position of locomotive driver at Fremantle. He was a native of W.A., and 58 years of age. Mr. Sharpe was a good sport and a keen follower of football, and was the father of Mr. H.
