Notes
!S.P. May p.391 Nathan Sears is a prominent and wealthy citizen of E Dennis; a
grocer and farmer.
!S.P. May handnotes Nathan Sears was born in the old family homestead, still
standing, which was built by his grandfather in the last century, and which is
now the home of Henry H Sears, the great-grandson of the builder. The common
school and the old Academy at East Dennis furnished the means for his education
until he was fourteen years of age when he went to sea as cook. He served in
various capacities in coasting and foreign voyages until 1852, when he retired.
The same year he went into the fishing and mercantile business as one of the
firm Kelly, Sears & Co., until 1875, when he assumed the care of his farm.
Mr Sears resides in his beautiful house, erected in 1848, in East Dennis,
within a stone's cast of the house in which he, as well as his father, was born.
He has found his time fully occupied with his varied business interests and
has therefore avoided the busy arena of politics. A republican in his
convictions, he has filled no other offices than such comparitively
unimportant ones as pertain to his immediate locality.
He renders material aid to the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and is open-handed
in all public enterprises. In the evening of an industrious and varied life,
he enjoys a competency amid the scenes of his childhood, and the confidence of
all who know him.
