Mr. George W. Sears [SRGP 88284]
Last Thursday morning Mr. George W. Sears died at his home on Central avenue in this borough.  He had been confined to the house for several months and had been steadily failing in strength and his death was not unexpected.  He was in his 69th year.  He leaves a widow, one son and two daughters.  The funeral was held on Saturday morning, and it was largely attended.  Rev. E. B. Cornell of the First Baptist Church conducted a short religious service and then Mr. Sears remains were laid to rest upon the little knoll in front of the house, this spot having been selected by him long ago for his last resting place.  George W. Sears was born at Oxford Plains, Mass., December 2, 1821.  He attended the common schools and worked at shoemaking with his father and brothers until he arrived at the age of 16.  He then slipped on board a whaling vessel in search of an adventure and he then no doubt imaginable to better his condition in life.  He had always been rather fail and he was unable to stand the hardships of a sailor and soon fell sick.  He was put off on the island and of Fayal, Ont., of the group of the Azores, off the coast of Portugal and before he lay sick of fever and lung trouble for months.  At last he recovered sufficiently to be sent home by the American Consul.  Soon after his return his father moved to western New York and George drifted to Addison, Steuben county, where he worked at his trade for some time.  About this time he came to be known by the familiar name of Bacchus, and the nickname clung to him all the rest of his life.  Bacchus always loved Nature in her wildest dress and he had a fondness for being alone in the deep forest where with his gun and fishing rod he kept his little camp supplied with game.  It was about 1840 that he came to this borough while going from Addison to his hunting grounds and principally on account of the abundance of game in this region at that time he was attracted to this place as a home.  He accordingly opened a small shoe shop here in 1840 and there remained in business off and on for about 17 years and much of the time since he has worked on the shoemaker’s bench as a journeyman.  He married Miss Mariette Butler in August, 1857.  When the war broke out Mr. Sears enlisted in Company E of the old Bucktails and he served from April to August when he was discharged on account of a sprained foot.  In the spring of 1866 he went to Minnesota for his health but returned in a year and in 1867 he went to Brazil and spent four months along the banks of the Amazon.  While among the natives he devised an improvement in the means of drying rubber, it being a drum upon which the juice of the tree was poured as the drum was revolved by a crank over the smoke of the palm nuts.  When he came home he enlisted several prominent Wellsboro gentlemen in his enterprise and in the spring of 1870 he went back to the rubber district of Brazil to introduce his invention.  But the natives were averse to using machinery in the process being perfectly content to dry the milky juice on the old time clay mould so the inventor met with disappointment and came home again.  In 1871 Mr. Sears was employed as a writer upon the Agitator.  But the close application was distasteful to him and he resumed his old trade, taking long outings every summer.  In the warm months of 1880 he spent many weeks in the Adirondack region and again in 1883 he made a canoe voyage among the rivers and lakes of the northern wilderness and wrote a series of interesting letters about the scenery and fishing in that region for the Forest and Stream.  Mr. Sears was called eccentric because he chose to ignore the weary and devious roads by which men attain wealth and position.  He cared for neither, but was happiest when he could get off into the woods and enjoy the solitude of camp life.  Naturally he was endowed with a love of poetry and early in life he “dropped into verse,” many of his productions being written upon birch bark while he was in camp.  It was while in the Adirondack woods that Mr. Sears, under the nom de plume of “Nessmuk” wrote a volume on Woodcraft which was intended as a book of instruction in all the details of camp life, his experience in that line specially fitting him for the task.  Bacchus used to say that he believed he had spent fully 12 years of his life in the woods and from his “Nessmuk” hunting knife to his ditty bag his outfit was unique, his advice being to go light.”  His book was intensely interesting and it was a success.  At the urgent request of many of Mr. Sears’s personal friends he gathered together most of the versus he had written, and in 1887 they were published in a handsome volume called ‘Forest Runes.”  It contains most of his best rhymes and will be preserved by those who knew “Bacchus in memory of one who was for many years a familiar figure upon our streets and was a man known by his close friends as warm hearted and generous to a fault.  (Tuesday, May 6, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

SMITH John B
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA - Wednesday, Feb. 23, 1916, Pg 1
A Pioneer Gone..   (Extract)
John B. Smith, aged nearly 93 years, died early last Thursday morning [2/17/1916] at the home of his son, Louis, in Delmar.  He is survived by three sons and one daughter, Louis and William, of Delmar;  Henry Smith and Mrs Henry Tipperman of Wellsboro.   Me married Margaret Statts in Baltimore, MD., June 3, 1848.  She died in Delmar, July 26, 1873.  Mr. Smith up to a few months ago was frequently seen on our streets.  He was a sturdy, clear-headed and active man for his years and he loved to talk of the old days when he first came to Tioga County.  He was born in Stiunah, Bavaria, Apr. 3, 1823 and came to this country with his parents when he was seventeen, so he had vivid recollections of breaking the ties in the fatherland, the voyage and the first impressions of a new country.  The family came across in a sailing vessel and were three months on the voyage.  They landed at Baltimore July 4, 1840.  He said he remembered very well encountering a number of icebergs on the way, the majesty of the spectacle and the anxiety of the crew in navigating among them.  Several years ago Mr. Smith, in a personal interview with the editor of Agitator, gave us some notes of his life on which this article is founded, so it is authentic, being from his own recollections of a long and active life mostly spent in Delmar township and Wellsboro.  ....  Young Smith worked for two years at Texas Fort, near Annapolis Junction, in a blast furnace producing pig-iron, and at other vocations, till 1846, when he quit his job owing to difficulty with the son of the proprietor of the works over the whipping oa a slave.  For a slight offense the young "massa" tied up the slave, who was a mule driver, and began to beat him with a "blacksnake."  ... was able to save the poor slave some of the lashes, but the result was that the next day Smith and his companions were discharged for medling in the affair.  Smith went down into the Cumberland valley and worked a few months and then came North.  he said that he witnessed many a heartrending scene at the whipping post and he saw slaves manacled in pairs and driven in squads to the slave market.    In 1846 young Smith heard of the opportunities in this new county and he came to Tioga County.  He went to Williamsport on the canal from Baltimore and up Pine Creek on foot to Manchester, now Ansonia, and for seven years he lived there, working for Phelps & Dodge in the lumber woods and in the saw mills.  His first trip to Wellsboro was to buy a pair of boots.  He walked over, of course, that being far the easiest way to make the trip in those days.  On Burns Hill he met a big black bear which disputed the way.  Smith said he didn't waste any time in argument, but turned and went home.  The next day he came over to Wellsboro and didn't see any dangerous wild beasts on that trip.  Wellsboro was then composed entirely of wooden buildings, small and few in number.  The details of Mr. Smith's recollections of those days were very interesting, for he knew personally most of the prominent citizens in and about the town.   Mr Smith bought timber land of Hezekiah Stowell in Delmar and he cleared two farms of fifty acres each, married and raised his family and prospered by hard work and frugality for the sixty years he spent in active work in that locality.  His wife died in 1873.  When Smith began to make his home in the wilderness of Delmar, there was not another house than his and the John Dantz place and it was heavily timbered from the Boyden place at the borough line all the way to Ansonia.  .... The funeral was held Saturday morning at St Peter's Catholic Church, Rev. Father Jordan officiating; interment in the Wellsboro Cemetery.
