Notes for Daniel Offley SHARPLESS
He was a merchant in Philadelphia. His wife and two of the children spent a part of the summer of 1874 in Atlantic City, where he went to accompany them home. Before returning it was determined to take an ocean sail. The boat capsized and the two children drowned while Mr. Sharpless clung to the boat and supported his wife with one arm. When assured by the captain that his wife too was drowned, Mr. Sharpless clasped her in his arms and sank beneath the waves with her.
