Sloan, Richard E. History of Arizona. Phoenix, Record Pub. Co., 1930, volume 4 (Arizona biography), page 598: One of the leading physicians in northeastern Arizona is Dr. W.S. Sharp, of McNary, Apache County, where he has built up a large practice and gained a high reputation for his professional ability. The doctor was born in New Boston, Bowie County, Texas, on November 30, 1882 and is a son of J.S. and Suania
(Colam) Sharp, the former of whom was a farmer by occupation. Dr. Sharp attended the public schools at Texarkana, Texas and the high schools at Austin and Sherman, Colorado. He prepared for his life work by matriculating in the medical school of Tulane university at New Orleans, Louisiana from which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1907. He at once entered practice in Louisiana where he remained until 1918 when he moved to el Paso, Texas which was the scene of his
labors during the following eight years. In 1926 Dr. Sharp went to Los Angeles, California as company physician for the Santa Fe Railroad remaining there until June 1928 when he came to McNary where he has since ministered to the physical ills of the
people of this locality. Dr. B.J. Cole is his assistant. On October 12, 1904 he married Maywin Harris of Gale Texas and they are the parents of six children: Jeffie, W.S. Jr., Maywood, Susan, Haines, Perry and Petty.

J Am Med Assoc, Aug 1929; 93: 386: FAILURE TO RETURN PACKAGE LIBRARIES. The package library service established by the American Medical Association to aid physicians in keeping abreast of modern medical science has met with enthusiastic appreciation on the part of thousands of physicians who avail themselves of it. At the last annual session the House of Delegates recommended extension of this service and commended the Board of Trustees and the Library Department for what had already been done. This service was established in 1924. Since that time only a few physicians who have applied for packages have failed to fulfil their part of the agreement by returning the material after they had finished using it. Packages were sent at various times to the physicians whose names follow and letters have been sent to them repeatedly urging them to return the packages. Replies to the letters have not been received and the packages have not been returned. ... Dr. W. S. Sharp, McNary, Ariz.
