    Notes:

    Another Pioneer Gone; Mrs. Rachel M. Sears died Friday, March 11, at Aurora, Neb.
    Mrs. Rachel M. Sears, widow of the late Archibald Sears, died last Friday morning [10 Mar 1905] at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. F.C. Mather, of Aurora, Neb., where she had made her home for the last eight years. Death resulted from the infirmity of old age, Mrs. Sears having been in her 87th year. After a service at Aurora Sunday, the body was brought to Plano accompanied by Mrs. Mather, Charles Sears of Hyannis, Neb., and Miss Ethel Henning, who was upon a visit to Aurora when the death of her grandmother occurred. The final service was held at the residence of the eldest daughter of the deceased, Mrs. E.L. Henning, at 1:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, and besides the relatives was attended by a number of friends from Chicago and Steward and from Sandwich, where Mrs. Sears resided for twenty-two years. The Rev. G.H. Robertson of Sandwich conducted the service. The burial was in the Archibald Sears lot in the Plano Cemetery. Rachel Carver was one of the fast dwindling little band of surviving pioneers who settled the vicinity of Plano. She was the daughter of David T. and Sharley Carver and was born at Hebron, Conn., October 26, 1818. She was one of eleven children of whom Mrs. George Steward of Plano is the sole survivor. In 1836 when a girl of 18 years, Rachel Carver started on the pioneer journey which brought her eventually to Illinois. She stopped first with her sister, Mrs. John Hollister, at Hollisterville, Pa., where she taught school for two years. In the spring of 1838 she joined the party composed of John Hollister's and Marcus Steward's families which was starting for the west. She accompanied the pioneers to Angola, Ind., where she joined her brother William and Dr. Lewis Carver. There she taught school until she was married November 1, 1840 to Adonijah Smith. Two children born in this union died in infancy and in 1844 Mr. Smith died also. In 1845 she started for Illinois to join her sister, Mrs. Hollister, who was then settled on the site of the future Plano. For two years she taught school at Bristol and August 23, 1850, she was married to Archibald Sears. The following sixteen years the family lived on the farm east of Plano removing in 1866 to Sandwich and in 1888 returning to Plano where Mr. Sears died in 1893. Mrs. Sears is survived by one sister, Mrs. George Steward, six children--Charles Sears and Mrs. F.C. Mather, Aurora, Neb., Sherman Sears, Hyannis, Neb., Mrs. E.L. Henning and Albert Sears, Plano, and Mrs W.L. Miller, Crawfordsville, Ind., by a step-son James M. Sears of Plano, twenty grand-children and one great grand-child. - Kendall County News, 15 Mar 1905
