I have a snapshot of Don Sears probably taken in the 40's or 50's and a formal photograph of a Fannie F.Sears taken in 1905. These were with photographs of Mable (Hier) and Elliot Miller who I am researching. My husband's elderly aunt says that Don Sears was a minister in or around Addison, VT. She is not sure of Fannie Sears. I do not need those photos, but hate to throw them out. If someone is interested in this family, I would be glad to send them to you. Pat Marshall [email protected]
