Notizen bei William Rouss Sharp

William Rouss Sharp, known to friends and family as "Rouss", was a farmer who was far ahead of his time concerning his knowledge of farming. Neighbors from all around would come to get his advice on this and other subjects. He was a very hard worker and loved what he did. He was concerned about the welfare of his family. He had many friends and had the respect of them all.

At the age of 70, he was threshing a pecan tree and slipped and fell about 30 feet. He crawled to the house, where he refused to go to a doctor until the next day, when he decided there was a worse injury than he thought. They found he had a hairline fracture of his hip, for which they could do nothing;and he had a rupture of the diaphram. This they operated, but could do very little repair. This was the first time he had been in the hospital in his whole life, had never even had a shot!

About a couple of years or so after this, he had a heart attack. His grand-daughter, Dawn, and her husband were there and they called his sons, Bill and Tony, who got him to the hospital. Dawn and Chuck stayed at the farm to take care of things. After this he changed his lifestyle drastically and to please Aimee, his wife, he agreed to exchange houses with his oldest son, Bill, and they would try living in town. This was of short duration; he said that he would rather live a shorter time and spend the rest of his days on the farm that he loved. So they moved back to the farm and he probably enjoyed those last two years more than any other time in his life.

He and Aimee traveled some, they went to see their son, Terry, who was in the Navy in California. They also visited with relatives who lived a short distance away. Rouss was still able to drive (very well, I might add). He also took up fishing-he had always felt he didn't have time for things that were mere enjoyment-now he went almost every day. Terry often talked of those times when they went fishing together and how special they were. He lived about two more years there, doing many things he enjoyed-he even began watching a soap opera with Aimee, and they had a kind of companionship they had never had before. He had a routine every evening: while Aimee was preparing dinner, he would go and turn the windmill on, then would feed the milkcow, Maxine, then go back and turn the windmill off and go back to the house. That day Mother waited a little longer than the 45 minutes it usually took him to do these things, when she looked up and saw the windmill was still running, she felt a cold chill go over her, and she knew something was wrong. She went out to the barn and found him where he had just sat down on a bale of hay and looked like he had just gone to sleep. She was devastated, but began to collect her wits and went in and called the neighbor, who called the ambulance and Bill.

Even at this time, many of us are still remembering things that he knew and did, which in the agricultural world in general were not known. Today they are coming up with procedures as being entirely new, when we of his family knew of his practicing these methods years ago. He was always conscious of saving the soil and practiced crop rotation.
