Notes

!S.P. May p.545 Mr Sears was a teacher for many years; has held various town

offices - Selectman, Assessor, School Committee, etc S.P. May handnotes Stephen Sears during his boyhood improved the eduational advantages afforded him, early developing a love for mechanics and kindred arts. At sixteen years of age he went to sea, where he was steadily employed until 1848, and later he acted for thirteen months as first officer on Philadelphia steamers. Since Mr Sears retired from the sea he has constantly _____some trust connected with the social or civil interests of his town. He was teacher of the seminary in Harwich four years, and taught fifteen years in grammar schools, the last four in Newport, RI. He was the agent for ten years for New England for the educational works of Harper, Appleton and Shelden & Co. He was president of the County Teachers Assn. for five years. In his social relations his usefulness is no less marked. He has been Superintendant of Sunday Schools thirty years of his life, and, although really with his wife, a member of Dr Bates Meth Epis Church of Boston, he now superintends the school of the Bapt Ch, S Yarmouth, and renders to that society his spiritual and material aid. For five years he was president of the Cape COd Musical Assn, and has been otherwise largely interested in the libraries, lodges and societies of his town and country. In civil and municipal affairs his worth is acknowledged by his reelection. He acts on the Street Comm, and has been chairman of the Board of Selectman for six years. His labors are manifold, yet accomplished with that precision and sound judgement which characterize him. Among the citizens of Yarmouth none are more identified with the welfare and prosperity of the community than he. In every object for the god of society, his labor and means are employed, and he commands the respect of his townsmen for his ready skill in mechanics, his undoubted integrity in municipal affairs, his liberal benefactions, and his symmetrical social and religious life.
