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.
