A History of Masonry in Madison County, Kentucky 1812-1913, compiled 
and written by Robert R. Burnam, 1914, p. 84.

SQUIRE A. SEARS was born in Missouri about 1852.  His parents died when he 
was a very small boy, leaving three children, two boys and one girl.  The 
subject of this sketch came to Richmond and lived with his uncle, Major 
Squire Turner, who was a very distinguished lawyer.  He was educated at the 
old Academy and early embarked on a business career.  He returned to 
Missouri about 1880, locating in Kansas City.  Here he lived for nearly 
twenty years.  Subsequently he removed to Tacoma, Washington, where he died 
about l896.  He received the degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry during the 
autumn of 1873, and those of the Chapter in 1875.  He was Knighted in 
Richmond Commandery August, 1875.  He was elected Master of his Lodge 
December, 1877, after having served as both Junior and Senior Warden.  He 
was in line in the Commandery when he removed to Missouri.  Shortly 
afterwards he demitted from the various branches of the Order and it is not 
known to the writer whether he ever again affiliated.  He most probably did 
because he had always manifested a marked interest in the same.  His memory 
is still held in pleasant recollection by all who knew him.  He was married 
but left no children.
