George Russell BEARSS died this morning at 6 o'clock at his home on South Jefferson street, this city, after an illness of complications since the first week in February. Mr. Bearss and family moved to Rochester from their farm west of Rochester early last winter and shortly afterward he took to his bed. In 1834 Mr. Bearss was born in the old village of Miamisport, where the city of Peru now stands, and is the son of Hon. Daniel R. BEARSS, who, during his life, was one of the distinguished men of Indiana. He first attended the public schools and at the age of 12 years he was sent to Kenyon college at Cambier, Ohio, where he continued six years. The school days over, Mr. Bearss spent two years in California and then returned to Peru, where he remained until 1864, when he came to Rochester and for four years was engaged in the walnut lumber business in partnership with Edwin C. COWGILL under the firm name of COWGILL & BEARSS. Mr. Bearss then bought 120 acres of land in Rochester township, where the house of Thomas LOVATT now stands. A short time later he bought 1,140 acres more. About twenty years ago he removed to his farm, an easy distance southwest of Rochester. He now has about 700 acres of fine land. He has spent about $30,000 in improvements on his farm, which is considered one of the best farms in northern Indiana. He has always given much attention to stock interests, and always had upon his farm some of the best blooded stock in Fulton county. The republican party had the earnest support of Mr. Bearss. His first presidential vote was cast for John C. Fremont at the convention held in Musical Fund hall in Philadelphis, which nominated him for the presidency. In 1874 Mr. Bearss was elected to represent Fulton county in the Indiana legislature. He was united in marriage in 1860 to Miss Mary TROOST, who died in 1884, leaving one son, Daniel R. [BEARSS]. Mr. Bearss was married again in 1885 to Miss Jessie McBRIDE, who was born in the same neighborhood in which they resided. To this union four [?] children, George [BEARSS], at home, and Albert Gresham [BEARSS], on the home place, southwest of Rochester. There are also four brothers, Frank [BEARSS], Albert [BEARSS], Oliver [BEARSS] and Omar [BEARSS], all of Peru. The funeral services will be held at the residence Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. S. A. STEWART having charge. Burial will be made in Odd Fellows cemetery. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obits/Biogs - 1911-1912 by Wendell C. Tomaugh
