JAMES HARVEY SHARP James was born in March 1843. Although he is listed in the rolls his enlistment is not clear. In the 1890 Veterans Schedule he is living in Moorhead and although the writing is not good, it appears he told them he enlisted as a Private in Company A, 134th Pennsylvania Infantry and he did not provide dates. This writer suspects that James is the soldier who enlisted in Company A, 14th Pennsylvania Regiment. He was enlisted for twelve days (16 September to 28 September 1862) and is probably why the 1890 census did not have dates. Records through census reports show he lived in Moorhead 1890 through 1930. He died in Moorhead on 20 July 1931. He is buried in Prairie Home Cemetery in Moorhead. Burial, Tombstone Picture.

History of Clay and Norman Counties Minnesota - See Page 178 Burial, Tombstone Picture, Family Links ADAM STEIN Biography from the "Compendium of History and Biography, 1902: "Adam Stein, one of the respected pioneers of northwest Minnesota, and a man of great energy and ability, resides on his farm in Georgetown township, and is known throughout Clay county as a citizen of worth and integrity. His portrait may be found upon another page of this volume (included herein).
Mr. Stein was born in Bavaria February 8, 1821, and came to America in 1830. For a time he worked in Indiana and Kentucky, and steamboated on the Mississippi river for two years. He reached St. Paul in the year 1855 or 1856, where he worked at odd jobs for about three years. He became acquainted with Probstfield, who had just taken a trip to the Red River vally, and in June, 1859, our subject returned with him  to the town site of Lafayette, on the Red River opposite the mouth of the Cheyenne. His first work there was to make hay. This he did with a scythe, and then with an improvised hay buck of poles and himself as a horse he made about ten tons of hay, which he sold to the Hudson's Bay Company for eighty dollars. He then worked for that company during the winter constructing a storehouse, which still stands on the old site of Georgetown. He passed the following winter on the farm in Oakport township. This farm was flooded out in the spring, and our subject started for St. Cloud, intending to leave the valley. At St. Cloud he learned that the farm which he now occupies had not been taken and he returned at once and secured the land, living there until the war broke out. He enlisted at Georgetown in December, 1861, and the following spring went south with Company G, Fourth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, and was first engaged in battle at Iuka. This was followed by the battles of Corinth, Jackson, Champion Hill, and the second battle of Vicksburg. His health now failed, and he was sent with a convalescent squad to St. Louis. His next service was with Sherman’s army on its march to the sea. After over three years of service Mr. Stein was honorably discharged and was mustered out at Chicago. He made his way back to St. Cloud and remained there three and a half years until 1868, when he returned to his farm, after an absence of seven years. He conducted farming Operations, kept a ferry and run a hotel, and met with success. He is now the owner of eight hundred acres of land, five hundred of which are under cultivation. He has just completed a barn 60x60 feet, and in 1899 erected a fine residence.
In politics Mr. Stein is a Populist, and is an advocate of reform in all lines of the public service. In his native land he was a revolutionist and fought for the principles of liberty, and now at the age of eighty years his mind is as active as in the days of his youth. He is a man of
public spirit, of great energy and unquestioned integrity.
Mr. Stein was married in 1866 to Miss Wilhelmina Schulz. Of this marriage eight children have been born, namely: William A., now register of deeds of Clay county; John M., deceased; Charles J., in charge of the home farm; Annie; Minnie, now Mrs. Stewart, of Sabin; Lena, deceased; Herman A., inventor of the “New Model" wind straw stacker; and Louise.
================== He and his family are in the census for 1890, 1900, and 1910 as living in Georgetown. He was appointed Georgetown Postmaster on 22 June 1869. Adam donated one acre of land for the Wild Rose cemetery in Georgetown after his son, John M. Stein, was killed by lightning while mowing hay. This acre was to be divided, one half for the Protestant churches and the other half for the Catholic church. Adam died on 6 May 1911 and is buried in the Wild Rose Cemetery.
