public schools, and in 1880 he located on the farm of 160 acres which
he still owns and manages as a general farming and stock-raising enterprise.
Besides farming he has also long been active as a builder and contractor. A capable man in the management of his. own affairs, Mr.
Mears has again and again been sought for public duty, and is now and
for a number of years has been chairman of the town board and has
also filled various school offices. He is a democrat in politics and a member
of the Catholic Church.
November 25, 1880, he married Miss Helen Farrell, daughter of Patrick
and Julia (Harrington) Farrell, of Bear Creek Township. Mr. and
Mrs. Mears have five children: James, who married Molly Purcell;
Thomas, who married Stella Mears; Mary, wife of M. T. Drea; Margaret,
unmarried; and William, who -married Clara Fargen. The daughter
Mary has six children, named: Willie, Catherine, Margaret, Joseph,
Jane and Lawrence. William and wife have two children: Henry and
