Mom says grandpa was a very quiet man.
He would have been a member of the Masonic Lodge there. She also told me Grandpa was very interested in softball and that so was Harriet. Sears pitched a splendid game for the Academy, striking out 16 men and allowing only 4 hits, but poor support lost the game. Sears pitched fine ball and had his opponents under control throughout the game. Lyon and Sears for East Greenwich and Martin and Wilks for Newport did good work at the bat.
