General Notes: Husband - Frederick Stear
He received but few opportunities to gain an education in his boyhood. As a young man he settled on a farm one and a half miles north of North Point, Pennsylvania, on the old Stear homestead in Jefferson County, and there continued to live until his death, at the age of seventy-six years, his wife passing away when seventy-seven. A Democrat in politics, he served in the capacity of constable and in various other offices, and he and his wife were members of the Lutheran Church.
One source lists twelve children; another source states that he and his wife had fourteen children, seven of whom died young.
