Remembering a Presbyterian Elder and Civil Rights Advocate
An obituary tribute honors a longtime elder of the Second Presbyterian Church for more than forty years and a steadfast Calvinist rooted in the faith. He supported the church through infirmity, engaged in abolitionist work with the Underground Railroad, and inspired his family and community with rugged integrity and enduring service. His son Rev Samuel Karne died in South America, another son Henry Sharpe led a Philadelphia church, and the family legacy continues under the memory of a devoted Christian life and public duty.
