==Morris Sharp==
Morris Sharp was born at Aberdeen, Ohio in 1838, and with his family he moved to Jamestown in 1851 before settling in Washington Court House.〔Allen, Frank M., ed. ''History of Fayette County Ohio: Her People, Industries and Institutions''. Indianapolis: Bowen, 1914.〕 He joined his father in the family business after completing his education,〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 413.〕 but after his health failed him, he was compelled to change his vocation,〔 and upon the formation of the Merchants and Farmers Bank in early 1872, Sharp was appointed the bank's first cashier.〔Dills, R.S. ''History of Fayette County, Together with Historic Notes on the Northwest, and the State of Ohio''. Dayton: Odell and Mayer, 1881, 1029.〕 He rapidly became one of the foremost citizens of his adopted city because of his unusual business ability, and until his death in early 1905, he was actively engaged in the management of extensive banking interests and extensive agricultural tracts.〔 A member of the local Methodist church, Sharp was a leading advocate of the prohibitionist cause; he was once the Prohibition Party's candidate for Governor of Ohio.〔
