Notes

!Benjamin R Sears, Jr Autobiography-The first six years in Steelton are very vague and the death of my father when I was but six years of age brought a sharp change in our family life. I must have begun formal school life in Harrisburg. I recall that the discipline was extreme for the misbehavior was punished by having the culprit come to an empty bench in the front of the room and take a thrashing from the teacher across the legs with a rattan switch. I recall attending an evening performancer of a Wild West Show which came to Harrisburg with Buffalo Bill (Cody) as the proprietor and one of the actors. I have some recollection of taking the Hudson River steamboat from New York, sleeping over night in a stateroom and waking up with the sunshine streaming in at Albany or Troy. It was a matter of some embarrassment to my mother that, as a rather harum scarum youngster, at times I would forget to wear a necktie to school and then be reported for the absence. Also I recall when I was along in the 6th grade that the Spanish American War broke out and a chap named Forest Jepson, a somewhat aggresive boy, came bursting into the cloak room one morning to announce the sinking of the battleship Maine, and shouting out the logan, "Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain!" Miss Maud Carpenter, in grade 8, who was something of a martinet, a stickler for grammar used to say "Zachias, he, did climb a tree, Our Master for to see." [sic] I left school in Nov 1905 to go to work as a clerk at The First National Bank of Bennington. My salary was $300 per year. Instead of paying me by the month, the Graves brothers, who ran the bank then , paid me once each quarter so I had to wait for my $75 for three full months. As clerk I had to serve as janitor - sweep the floors, wash the big front windows, and run the furnace for the whole building during the winter months. Also at this time I was active in the Second Congregational Church when Mr Frank Pope was the Sunday School Superintendant and Rev George S Mills was the pastor. He and Mrs Mills lived in the big parsonage at the corner of Pleasant and School Streets. I sang in the choir under the director of Mrs George Keesman. In 1911 he enrolled at Springfield College where he grad with he degree of Bachelor of Humanics (B.H.). He was in the USNR in 1918-19 and left service as an Ensign. He married late in life to Eleanor Stockin whose father was the last owner and publisher of "The Youth's Companion". In 1926, Harry and Eleanor settled in Newton, MA where he worked as a science teacher at the F.A. Day Junior H.S. In the summers they both worked at camps on Lake Winnepesaukee. They retired in 1954 to Laconia, NH

!S.P. May p.355 Lives Ply. !"Capt Amasa Sears ed. by Marian Sears Chaffin: W H Sears (1847-1911), of Mass Inst of Technology's first graduating class (1868) wrote an appreciative travelogue describing his visit to Smyrna (now Izmir),Turkey in 1872. He hasd treaveled on the barque Yarrington, whose master was his older brother Amasa. Wlater had extensive experience in his family's sailing vessels butnot professionally or to foreign ports. After graduating from MIT he had served in 1868 and 1869 on the staff of Frederick law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux laying out Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY. His trip to Smyrna took him to the glamorous near east while Smyrna still was major international trading port. Walter Sears wrote a series of travel reports that he sent to the Boston Daily Globe, which had just started publication. It featured his contributions under the heading "From our Own Correspondent," Feb 1872, and he signed them Scearstan. His account of the journey is a model for travel writers in showing an awareness of the historical and cultural features of the city. His subjects range from water spouts at sea to harbor contruction, architecture, individuals encountered,and even a hostage taken and ransomed. Entering the harbor of Smyrna, rthe new arrivals were greeted by a "Yankee" flag on the barque Smyrniote. Walter Sears' familiarity with handling a sailing vessel is evident inhis reports, and his engineering training is shown in his description of consturction work inthe harbor of Smyrna, as well as in many other engineering projects visited. He had read Mark Twain's recently published account of his visit to Smyrna in the Innocents Abroad and refers toseveral of Twain's comments and experiences: for instance, visits to the bazar selling elaborate turbans, to a Turkish bah,and to Ephesus.
