Obituary printed in April 21, 1892 Pilot, Blair, NE; death date determined from obituary.
Mrs. W.S. Sharpnack of Chicago, was buried in the Blair cemetery yesterday. Mrs. Sharpnack was the daughter of J.A. Phillips of this place, and sister to Steve and Herb Phillips. Her husband "Bill" Sharpnack, a well known machinist and former Blair foundry man, went to Washington not long since with H.B. Dexter and his company, and probably does not yet know that his wife died at their Chicago home last Sunday. As they had one child buried here and her friends reside here also, the remains were brought here for interment, arriving on the Wednesday morning train.
