Married:
- In 1899 Professor Pears was united in marriage to Anna Schnabel, a
daughter of Charles Schnabel, of Lima, and a lady of many pleasing and
gracious qualities. They are members of the Disciples' Church and take
a prominent part in the social life of the city. The Professor has been
a lifelong Democrat, and has always taken an active part in the
advancement of that cause. That he is popular among his colleagues is
shown by the fact that he was nominated for the Legislature over two of
the older politicians at the county primary election held August 14,
1905, and in the fall election received next to the highest number of
votes of any candidate.
