merchant, capitalist and ship-owner.
He removed from Yarmouth to Boston in 1808, and soon engaged in business on
Long Wharf, continuing in the same store till the close of his life, and
accumulated a large property.
He was just in his dealings, painstaking, frugal, temperate, assiduous and
far-seeking.
He was an original thinker, a great reader, with a tenacious memory, enabling
him to repeat much that he had read, even whole pages of the Iliad, (Pope's
translation)
Articles of noticeable ability were often written by him for the papers, and
he would doubtless have stood high in any profession he might have chosen.
His married life was brief, but happy. "Man proposes but God disposes," was the exclamation with which he bowed to
the severity of bereavement.
Carrying his infant in his arms to the baptismal font, he seemed ever after
especially solicitous that the education of the child should be religious, and
when himself about to depart, his interest in this was deeply marked in the
charge to his son's guardians.
Mr Sears left legacies to numerous relatives, to the Seaman's Friend Society,
and for a nautical school at Yarmouth.
The balance of his large property was left in trust for his son, Joshua M
Sears.
!ESL "Proper Bostonians" Joshua Montgomery Sears establsihed Sears trust in
