OBITUARY. Catharine Kear, (nee Frisinger,) was born in Rockingham county, Virginia, April 12, 1812. When four years old she was brought by her mother to Champaign county, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood. On April 29, 1829, she united in marriage with Thomas R. Kear. In September, 1835, she, with her husband, moved to Willshire, Ohio, and: resided there and in that vicinity until 1843, when they moved to the village of Van Wert, where she resided until her death, Nov. 1, 1895, aged 83 years, 8 months and 19 days.
She was the mother of ten children, five of them, with her husband, preceded her to the spirit world. She was the grand-mother of 47 children and the great-grand-mother of 60 children.
She was converted at a Methodist camp meeting held near Urbana, 0., in 1830. She immediately joined herself to that society and continued a communicant in that church to the time of her decease, undergoing all the hardship of early Methodism in Ohio, suffering in its trials and rejoicing in its victories; many times walking through the woods of the then unbroken wilderness several miles, to meet with some other class to cheer, by her presence and to receive its benefits; many times carrying a babe in arms all the way. At one of these class meetings she first met Priscilla Glenn, mother of ex-judge H. C. Glenn, having walked five miles carrying the Judge, then a baby, in her arms. She was a member of the first Methodist class that met in Van Wert county, which met at the home of Richard Pring, In Willshire township and was organized and led by Richard Pring, who was also a pioneer exhorter. She joined this class in 1816 and worshiped God with them until she moved to Van Wert. She then joined the society that was struggling for existence and which developed and grew to what is now the First M. E. church of Van Wert. The funeral will be held at the First M. E. Church, Sunday, Nov. 3, at 2 o'clock p. m. Friends wishing to view remains can do so on Sunday, from 10 o'clock a. m. to 12:30 p.. m. at No.12 South avenue, the residence of her son, W. M. Kear.
