Carl Elvin Sharpe was born 3-7-1891, in Haxtun, Colorado, the son of Nils Wilhelm Sharpe and Johanna Christina Andersdotter, both born in Sweden. He was blessed to have 14 siblings, 10 of whom lived to adulthood. He worked the farm with his family, until he entered the Army, in 1918, during WWI. Upon his enlistment, Carl was sent to the Cavalry, as were most farm boys. However, he was not just an experienced horseman and mule handler; but, proved that he could drive a 6-horse hitch, a talent much needed by the cavalry. Soon wishing for something new, he revealed that he was also a motorcyclist and was sent to serve as a dispatcher between command units. When one general observed his talent for drawing maps, he performed in that capacity until the war ended.
On 8-19-1925, in Wray, Colorado, Carl was married to Frances (Fannie) Lenora Boren, a marriage that truly lasted until "death do you part." A funny thing, Carl had actually, gone to Fannie's house to propose to her sister, Pearl; but, Pearl wasn't home. Carl was on his way to California, in his new 1925 Star, set on taking a wife with him. Carl and Frances had one daughter, Barbara Jean Sharpe, born 1-12-1929, in Denver, Colorado. Carl worked as a carpenter, drawing the plans, and building some homes for Fannie and himself. In the 1930's, he worked building sets for some Hollywood movies, and met a lot of well-known movie stars. Later, he worked for his new son-in-law, Eugene Leon Durand, who married his precious Barbara Jean in 1947. He was always a kind, fun-loving, and generous person, who was often telling fun stories, or singing silly Swedish songs. 

He died April 22, 1987 in Paso Robles, California.
