!DEATH: Letter from Carol Aldrich, Tulsa, OK, to Ray Sears, Duncan, OK; 1870-1989; Letter dtd 5 Jul 1994; ; copy in poss of Ray Sears, Duncan, OK; "The Life of a Pioneer" By Lottie M Cartwright. Tributes of Respect from Neighbors and Friends. "He (Lowell Sears) has always been held in high esteem, because I think he is one of God's noblemen; an honest man, and one that I believe has lived a good and useful life, doing unto others as he would that others should do unto him. "But at such times, words are of little avail. ---May God send his comforting spirit to you all in the hour of your great sorrow, and bind up your poor broken hearts. "Your Aunt Lou and Lucius jon me in love and sympathy to you all." Affectionately yours, H.B. Sears Toledo, Ohio (Henry Sears RIN-11587)

"Another noble citizen of Jefferson County has gone to his reward. I knew your father and I know that I have lost one of my friends. You girls (I cannot use another word so well as "girls" though prbably I should) have lost one of the best fathers that this world has ever known; you will miss him, yet you have a consolation in the memory of a noble character that has left it's impress upon the whole community, country, and state have to meet a loss, always hard to bear, in the death of Justice Sears. "Extending you and your sisters my heart felt sympathy in these hours of trial and sorrow. I am, Sincerely yours, John A Hazelwood (state Senator and attorney at law)

"All who knew him, had naught but good to say of Lowell Sears." George Aspinwall From the Jefferson Co Union Lowell C Sears, one fo the oldest and most respected residents of Rome, this county, died in his home in that place early on Monday morning, 31 May 1909, aged 76 years and 18 days. Mr Sears was for many yearsa Justice of the Peace in Rome. He was born in Camden, Oneida co, NY, 13 may 1833, and ten years later came to WI with his parents, who were descendants of Richard Sears, one of the Puritans who founded Salem, MA. Since coming to WI, he has always been a resident of the town of Sullivan. He was married 5 Feb 1857, to Catherine Bornheimer, and to them were born six daughters, five of whom survive him. In his home he was ever cheerful, kind and indulgent. He was never known to lose his temper or speak an unkind word. For years he has devoted himself entirely to the care of his wife whose failing health was a great source of anxiety to him. Since her death last June, he has never awakened to his former interest in public affairs, but seemed to feel that his life's work was done, and waited patiently for the time to come when he shoudl be called to join her. Since April 16, he has been unable to leave the house, suffering with dropsy caused by heart trouble. He served his country during the last two years of the Civil War, having discharged as Corporal from Co A, 1st WI Heavy Artillery. We quote from the Sears' Genealogythe inscription on the Sears Monument in Yarmouth, MA: "Worth is better than wealth, Goodness greater than nobility, Excellence brighter than distinction." "This," said one of his daughters, "seems to state clearly father's principles." He was a member of the IOOF and an attendant often at their lodge. He also belonged to the MWA. The GAR of which he was a member, will have charge of the funeral Thusday, 3 June, at 2:00 PM at Rome, WI. He will be laid to rest beside his wife and father in Crowder Cemetery, north of the village of Rome.

1 Apr 1915 Ft Dodge, IA Lowell C Sears visited his old homein Camden, NY over fifty years after they left there. The only familiar object he found on the place was an old apple tree, near where the house used to be. At the GAR monument in Wash, DC, 1892, he had the pleasure of meeting William F Dann, Of New haven, CT, whom he had not seen since they were playmates in Camden, NY in 1843.
