Notes
!S.P. May p.377 Rev Edward G Sears was educated at Madison Uni., Hamilton, NY,
and at Newton Theo Sem'y, MA, and ordained minister of the Baptist Church. He
was a fine scholar, and early in boyhood showed his love for mathematics by
secretly borrowing an advanced arithmetic and entirely mastering its contents,
and finishing every example in it before his parents knew anything about it.
He was settled in Marshfield, Sharon, North Wrentham, Franklin and other
places in Mass, and afterward became a Professor in New Hampton Institute, NH.
He was for a year or two editor of the "Christian Review," in Boston;
afterward engaged in manufacturing business in Nashua, NH; in furniture business
in Baltimore, MD, and in farming in Agawam, MA, from 1857 to 1865.
In the latter year he became editor of the Springfield, MA, "Daily Union,"
which position he held until within a year or two of his death, when he retired
to a small place he had purchased in the suburbs of Springfield. He had for
many years been in poor health.
