Yarmouth Register, 10 Mar 1883, p 1, Capt Winthrop Sears -- departed this life at his home in Yarmouth Port, on Wednesday evening last. He was at the director's meeting at the Bank, on Monday forenoon, and about noon was taken with intense pain, and Dr Pulsifer, and later Dr Marstin of South Yarmouth, were summoned to his assistance. Temporary relief was gained, but the former trouble returned on Tuesday afternoon, and on Wednesday evening he passed quietly away. His disease was neuralgia of the heart, with nervous prostration.
Capt Sears was born in West Yarmouth, Jan 2, 1818, and at the age of 18 commenced following the sea. At 21 years of age he was master of the brig Robert Wall, a Philadelphia and Boston packet, and afterwards of the bark Tremont, the Ocean Pearl, and for several years of ship Conquest, in the foreign trade. After this he was in charge of the Benj. Franklin, the pioneer boat of Boston and Philadelphia steamship line, the Wm. Penn, of the same line, and the Concordia and St Louis, of the Boston, New Orleans and Liverpool line. During the war he was in command of a transport in the United States service. His last service at sea, was as commander of steamer Saxon, of the Boston and Philadelphia line.
Capt Sears retired from the sea about ten years ago, and also from active business pursuits. He was, however, intimately identified with the affairs of this community, and such was the reliance placed in his judgement and integrity, that his services were often sought in the public transactions and enterprise of the day. He was elected one of the board of Selectmen, Assessors and Overseers of the Poor for several successive terms, retiring in January of his own accord, and had his life been spared he would have again been called to the same position. He was a Director of the First National Bank, a Trustee of the Woodside Cemetery Association, and connected with other local organizations. Affable in his manners, correct and just in his business relations, he enjoyed a wide popularity among his associates, who will greatly miss him in the various relations of life.
Capt Sears was three times married, and leaves a widow and four children to lament the great loss which they, as well as the public, have sustained by this afflictive event.

1737. Thomas Warren Sears (Ebenezer , Willard , John , Paul , Richard ) was born 10 May 1812 in Yarmouth. He died 1 Aug 1843 in Boston and was buried in , 677.

S.P. May p.247 Thomas Sears removed to Boston, and engaged in business as a
merchandise broker and auctioneer, making a specialty of groceries and fruit,
selling from the wharf and vessel.
He was one of the prominent citizens of South Boston, (at that time a beaut-
iful and favorite portion of the city,) but died in the prime of manhood.
For years he had been marked with the seal of consumtion, and no one knew it
better than he, but he fought it, inch by inch, to the very last.
Hs last sale was in 1843, when the old brig "Pleiades," belonging to the
Peabody's, just returned from a pepper voyage, was advertised by TW Sears & Co.,
at the head of India wharf.
The friends of Sears endeavored to persuade him not to attempt the sale in
person, but he did, and his voice could hardly be heard as he leaned against the
bulwarks, and told off the bids.
Though dying atthe age of thirty-one, Mr Sears had established the reputation
of possessing abilities of the highest order in his profession, and gave promise
of a very brilliant future.
Many are the stories that are told of his sense of humor, and his quick
repartee, but he had finer traits of character, which formed a strong background
and support to his external accomplishments.
At heart he was deeply religious and devotional, as may be seen in several
prayers which he wrote, and which were printed in the "Christian World."
But the quality that most endeared him to his friends was his sensitive
sympathy for others. Generous from his sense of human brotherhood, he was also
just from a sense of duty, and in winning men's love, he failed not to win their
respect.
