S.P. May p.544 Barnabas is a dealer in lumber and hardware, Middleboro, MA.
Summer residence, old Crowell homestead, S Yarmouth
!S.P. May handnotes Unlike most lads of the Cape, Barnabas Sears turned his
mind to mechanics instead of the sea. After such educational advantages as his own village afforded, he went to Nantucket at the age of seventeen as an
apprentice to the carpenters trade, and then for a short time he attended an
evening school. At the age of twenty-one he returned to S Yarmouth, but
was induced to spend the subsequent season on the island before he made a
permanent residence in his native place. With his brother, John K., he engaged in the building and planing-mill business. In the fall of 1873, he with his older brother as JK & B Sears, established a lumber yard at Middleboro, where Barnabas removed, remaining there till 1887 when he returned, leaving the business with his youngest son, Henry W Sears, who continues it. Mr Sears has persistently declined office, preferring the social relations of life to the strife of party. He is a Republican politically, with a strong tendancy to promote the cause of temperance, whenever an opportunity is presented. He has been earnest and forward in that cause, as well as in every other good work.
He is a member of the MIddleboro Cong. Church, but earnestly supports the
religious societies of his village. In 1849 he erected his present fine
residence, where he is passing the twilight of his well spent days in the quiet enjoyment of the association of brothers and sisters, and in the full
confidence of the entire community.

Cape Cod Library of Hist Gen - p 676 - Old Quaker Village - Barnabas, jr and John K were carpenters and builders, and at one time they had a steam sawmill back of their house near the woods, called "Pawkunnawkut mill." [other sons] Stephen was for many years a teacher, and served the town as selectman and as school committee. David, "Uncle David" as most of us called him, was one of the most genial souls among us and needs no words of introduction to those for whom these pages are written.

5379. Stephen Sears (Barnabas , Stephen , Lydia , Seth , Samuel , Paul , Richard ) was born 15 Jul 1822 in S Yarmouth, MA. He died 26 Dec 1907 and was buried in , 3258.

S.P. May p.545 Mr Sears was a teacher for many years; has held various town

offices - Selectman, Assessor, School Committee, etc
S.P. May handnotes Stephen Sears during his boyhood improved the eduational
advantages afforded him, early developing a love for mechanics and kindred
arts. At sixteen years of age he went to sea, where he was steadily employed
until 1848, and later he acted for thirteen months as first officer on
Philadelphia steamers. Since Mr Sears retired from the sea he has constantly
_____some trust connected with the social or civil interests of his town. He
was teacher of the seminary in Harwich four years, and taught fifteen years in
grammar schools, the last four in Newport, RI. He was the agent for ten years
for New England for the educational works of Harper, Appleton and Shelden &
Co. He was president of the County Teachers Assn. for five years. In his
social relations his usefulness is no less marked.
He has been Superintendant of Sunday Schools thirty years of his life, and,
although really with his wife, a member of Dr Bates Meth Epis Church of Boston,
he now superintends the school of the Bapt Ch, S Yarmouth, and renders to that
society his spiritual and material aid. For five years he was president of the
Cape COd Musical Assn, and has been otherwise largely interested in the
libraries, lodges and societies of his town and country. In civil and
municipal affairs his worth is acknowledged by his reelection.
He acts on the Street Comm, and has been chairman of the Board of Selectman
for six years. His labors are manifold, yet accomplished with that precision
and sound judgement which characterize him. Among the citizens of Yarmouth
none are more identified with the welfare and prosperity of the community than
he. In every object for the god of society, his labor and means are employed,
and he commands the respect of his townsmen for his ready skill in mechanics,
his undoubted integrity in municipal affairs, his liberal benefactions, and his
symmetrical social and religious life. (History of barnstable County; pg
