Circus Worker to have big-top funeral

By Doug Johnson AP

Springfield MO- It may not be the greatest show on earth, but a lively
big-top funeral for and elephant groomer may be a spectacle P.T. Barnum
himself would be jealous of.

The side showsplanned includeciricus music, eats and even an elephant-drawn
carrying the casket.

In the center ring, the mail attraction will be ALbert "Shorty"Sharp, a man
whose tiny body was frozen when he died three months ago so his friends
could attendhis funeral. "It was my idea" said Sharps employer George Carden
ring master and owner of George Carden Circus International. "My circues was out
on the road when Shorty passed away and only a few of his friends would
have made the funeral."
SO, Carden says he decided to freeze Sharp at a Springfield funeral home until allof
his friends could come.
That day will be Saturday under the big top at Carden's winter quarters
north of Springfield. Close to a hundred people are expected at the send
off for the 82 year old New JErsey nativie.
Afterward Sharp's body will be loaded onto an elephant trailer and taken
to Robberson Prairie Cemetary. The cortege will be led by an elephant-
drawn wagon bearing Sharp's body.
"This is not much a funeral as it is a celebreation to say 'thank you' to Shorty
for his dedication.

Gosh, I wish I was there with you guys. I wanted to come, but the vacation dates just didn't match up.

Keep your smiles big and your grouping small!!!!
 
If the elephants go crazy, aim for the knee cap. It's the only place you can shoot an elephant and expect to get anything close to a one shot stop...
 
Lord, Lord Miss Dee. I was about to start loading my Winchester Modl 70 .375 Magnum with 300 grain hollow pointsto repel attacking elephants until I read through your post, But it's all right, another beer or two will sooth my shattered nerves.
Seriously. have lots of fun at Gunslingers and give us a full report when you can.

Evidently it was too hot for the elephants, so they carted one over to the cemetary by truck. However, Grayfox's wife was insistant that she was going to see elehants, so Terri's son drove her over to the cemetary, so she could see the elephant.

Mrs. Grayfox (AKA Turtle Smuggler :D) is a determined......and hilarious lady (my sides still hurt from laughing). After all it is not every day that one can see a frozen "little person" and herd of marching elephants in a funeral percession.
