Eric Palmer-From Michigan's HEARTLAND 1900-1918 by Forrest Meek
Log schoolhouses were not unheard of in Clare County, even back in the 1870's,
but most were of "frame construction." Sheridan had one log school on Section
35, and Grant had one on Section 21, but beyond this, they were scarce. The
reason is that the county had lots of sawmills in the early days, and it was
easier to build with lumber. After Meredith was dissolved as an incorporated
townin 1899, the permanent population had re-located itself onto that fertile
farmland there was in the township. A few families began farming in section
31, so a schoolhouse was required. Lyman Sears, the Harrison Jeweler, and
Charlie Butts headed up a "bee" which built a log school house in 1900. The
cracks between the logs were chinked with chips, then plastered and white
washed. Two windows were on the north and south sides. Inside, the floors had
wide, rough planking and a teacher's desk which had been nailed together from
wide boards. Student's desks were commercially manufactured but the ones
purchased were all for older children. The wee ones had trouble climbing onto
their seats. The school itself was scheduled to be established in Section 32,
but the old railroad grade cut west of there in Section 31, so one acre of land
on a small knoll just over the line was selected as the site, in order to make
use of the Meredith railroad grade. The children climbed wooden steps to get
to the boarded-in school yard. A plank was fastened onto the top of the fence,
and in nice weather, the children clambered up on it to eat their lunches. On
the school property was an abandoned cook stove, left there by the lumbermen.
The boys rigged it for operation, then covered it with boughs of sumac for a
clubhouse effect. A neighbor boy who didn't attend school came over before
recess and started a fire so that the children could cook food brought from
home. Eggs and potatoes baked in ashes were the normal fare. Memories of
those burned potatoes were selective, and the pupils of the log schoolhouse
remembered the delicious times they had in their "wig-wam" as they called it.

Lyman married Kathryn Darling on 5 Apr 1879 in Ontario, Canada. Kathryn was born 5 Feb 1859 in , Buckhorn, Ontario, Canada. She died 9 Apr 1940 in Clawson, MI and was buried 11 Apr 1940 in Maple Grove Cem, Harrison, MI.

Eric Palmer-Newspaper Funeral services for Katherine Darling Sears were held
Thursday afternoon April 11, from the Murphy funeral home, with Miss Irene Ladd
of the Clawson Evangelistic Church conducting the services. Interment was in
the Maple Grove cemetery of Harrison. Pall bearers were six grandsons. Two of
her favorite hymns were sung by Mr and Mrs Fred Weatherhead of Harrison.
Katherine Darling was born in Canada, 5 Feb 1859, and in 1897 was united in
marriage to Lyman Sears. A few years later they moved to the States, settling
at Harrison, MI, later taking up homesteading near Arnold Lake north of
Harrison, where they resided for more than twenty-five years. The Sears were
among the early settlers in Harrison and a lilac bush which they planted by
their lake bank home on the west side of the lake is still growing, and is
beside the John Kemmis in Little Alma. Six children were born to this union:
Frank and George preceded their mother in death and three sons, Harry, Harold
and Charles reside at Clawson, and one daughter, Ethel Reeder at Spokane, WA.
Following the death of her husband about twenty five years ago, Mrs Sears moved
with her son, George, to Clawson and has since made her home there. She passed
from this life Tuesday 9 Apr, at the age of eighty-one years, two months, four
days, leaving, besides her four children, twelve grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren, and a wide circle of friends. *** Sleep, dear soul, you
have earned your rest, So now lay your head on yur Master's breast. And softly
He'll tell you He understands, That the way was rough to the border lands.
He'll hold you firmly so you won't fall, For He knows your soul has answered
His call. Tomorrow will dawn another new day. But you'll find much brightness
along the way. For in earth's life of four-score years, There was were many
heart aches for you, Catherine Sears. For thirty-two years you travelled alone,
But raised all your family until they were grown. Then George and Frank went
ahead on the way, In order to greet you, on this April day. So sleep on, dear
mother, you'll know no more pain, For our earthly loss brings to heaven a gain.
And Harry, and Harold, and Charlie - all three with Ethel your daughter, say
"Farewell" to thee. But when life's journey for these may be o'er, They will
meet you with joy on Eternity's shore. So sleep, dear mother, sleep.

months and was under a physician's care. When the condition grew worse, in
recent weeks he re-entered the hospital. Judge Sears was a barber by trade.
Because his doctor ordered him to "relax," he and his brother, Charles L
retired from barbering May 1. The brothers had been partners in the business
since 1926. Their first shop was located at 25 S Main, but later moved into
the bank building. Then in 1951 the brothers opened their last shop at 302 S
Main. He was born on 9 Oct 1891 in Harrison, MI,(may have been Ontario,
Canada) the son of the late Lyman and Catherine (Darling) Sears. he moved to
Clawson in 1926. For 16 years preceding the time he lived in St Ignace where
he and the former Della Daniels, a native of St Ignace were married. Judge
Sears helped draft the present city charter as a member of the charter
commission in 1940. He became the city's only justice upon Clawson's
incorporation that year. He was re-elected in 1943, 47 and 51. Judge Sears
was active in Clawson baseball in former years. He was manager of the Clawson
"Old Timers" team which played each year during the Fourth of July celebration.

Eric Palmer-Daily Tribune first half of 1952 by Al Koski:Now that the Sears
brothers have retired from barbering in Clawson, they won't mind not cutting
hair anymore, but they sure will miss the daily visit with their friends. The
brothers, Harold R, age 61, and Charles L., 52, hung up their clippers Thursday
night. This morning they handed over the key to their shop at 302 S Main to
new owner, Robert Cranson, 202 Woodlawn, Royal Oak. For the last 29 years,
"Charlie" and "The Judge" have snipped and shaved customers - most of whom
lived in Clawson and Troy township. Their many years in Clawson earned them
the title of being one of the city's oldest businesses. There used to be three
barbering Sears brothers. But brother Harry, the oldest, died in 1943. It was
through Harry that "Charlie" and "The Judge" took up the trade. In 1908 Harry
started a shop in Wolverine, MI. As Charlie and The Judge grew up, Harry
taught them the trade. The younger brothers served their apprenticeship at the
expense of lumberjacks and mill workers in Wolverine. It was 29 years ago
today that Charlie opened his first shop at 25 S Main. In the following year,
Harry moved from Wolverine and joined Charlie in business. The Judge who had
been up in St Ignace for 16 years moved to Clawson and the three finally were
partners in 1926. The shop moved that year to the Bank building on the corner
of Fourteen-Mile and Main, where it remained until 1951 when the new shop was
built. Harold has been called "The Judge" since 1940 when he was elected
justice of the peace as the city incorporated. "The Judge" recently suffered a
heart attack and was ordered to takeit easy by his doctor. That's one of the
reasons why the brothers sold out. "Now I just intend to relax and devote more
time to my Justice duties," said Harold. "I'll do what work I have around
the house but that will be all." "Charlie" plans to move to his 116 acre farm
in Wolverine. The Sturgeon river flows at the front door of his farm house.
"I'll just sit on the door step, drop my fishing line and just fish," he said.
Neither has much complaint against barbering as a career. Charlie is a little
sorry because he "was born 30 years too soon. To really get the good out of
barbering now is the time to start, he remarked. "Now shorter hours and higher
haircut prices make the business more lucrative." "Why, we used to open at 7
a.m. and close anywhere up to 2 o'clock in the morning," chimed in the Judge.
"It was hard on your feet." The only thing that has irked the brothers was the
customer who wanted a certain type of haircut when "he's got a head that
doesn't fit the haircut." The brothers look back on days when all hair was cut
with scissors and clippers were never used. Then there was the time when men
wore no sideburns and hair could be cut quicker. The brothers marvel at
Clawson's growth. They remember old dirt streets and scattered farms, and when
the old interurban cars stopped right in front of their shop door. Both are
grandfathers. Charlie has four grandchildren and Harold five. Charlie lived
above the shop since it was built but the Judge owns a modest home at 263
Bauman, Clawson.
        Charles married Merle Ellen Jones on 13 Sep 1918 in Vanderbilt, Michigan. Merle was born 28 Oct 1900 in Wolverine, MI. She died 20 Jun 1987 in Bradenton, MI and was buried in , FL.
