J. W. SEARS DIED IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARK.
A wide range of friends and relatives in Coosa and Chilton counties
were deeply grieved to learn of the passing of J. W. Sears in North
Little Rock, Ark., last Thursday morning.
Mr. Sears was born in Weoka, Ala., where he lived until ten years of
age when he moved with his parents to what is now known as Sears Chapel
community. His parents were prominently connected with establishing the
Sears Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church and it received its present name
as a recognition of their earnest efforts.
For over thirty years Mr. J. W. Sears lived in the Sears Chapel
community where he was well known and deeply loved by a large number of
friends and neighbors. In 1891 he moved to Chilton County by where he
lived until 1910. At which time he moved to North Little Rock, and lived
there until his death.
His first marriage was to Miss Lou Smith, and to this union were born
two children, a boy and a girl, both now dead.
His second marriage was to Miss Frances M. Logan of Poplar Springs
community, near Hanover. She preceded him to the grave forty-one years
ago. There are four surviving children of this marriage: Mrs. P. M. Moore
of Clanton Ala.; Mrs. B. M. Maddox of Pelham, Ala., and Mrs. Hattie
Rasberry and Mrs. John Lima of North Little Rock, Ark., with whom he was
living at the time of his death; and nine grandchildren and one
great-grandchild. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Tommie Waldrip,
better know to a wide range of friends as "Aunt Tommie" who resides at
Hanover.
Funeral services and burial were in North Little Rock, Ark.(1)
