    • Jane S. Hall separated from Willard L. Sears.

      Dr. Sears went to California in 1852, and successfully followed placer-mining in vicinity of Sonora; he returned to the States in 1857, leaving again for Sonora early in 1862, where he devoted the remainder of his life to the practice of medicine, having graduated at Yale many years previous. Ever ready to attend a call of distress, without distinction of person, possessing a kind heart and warm sympathy, he acquired a constant practice; moderate in his charges, with either rich or poor, he was called "the poor man's doctor;" he was an estimable man, and a good citizen. Dr. Sears was one of the oldest Odd Fellows in California, having united with the Order in Connecticut, in 1840, was at the time of his death Dep. Grand Patriarch, and was buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Sonora, with the usual ceremonies. [1]
