Frank, physician settled in Elgin, ILL.,,
and Fred and Holland, who live on the
home farm. He was a man of many per-
sOnal peculiarities but will be held in kind
remembrance, especially by those who best
knew him in his years of active and useful
life.
John Spears, the third of these aged
residents, was the son of John Spears, an
early Guilford resident, and was born July
20, 1912. He married Sarah Mccormick,
