Penn Yan, Mar. 5 - Frank Tears, well-known wholesale and retail meat dealer, died at Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hospital this morning at 4:30 o'clock, following a week's illness. He suffered a heart attack Friday, February 28th, and pneumonia developed. Bom in the town of Benton, he was the son of Henry and Mary Hart Tears. In 1903 at an early age he began work for the late Merrill Beach wholesale meat dealer and hog skinner. In 1905 he entered the employ of the George H. Slsco meat market. In 1906 with Mr. Sanderson, he bought the Sisco business. The firm of Sanderson and Tears dissolved in 1910, Mr. Tears buying out his partner's interest. He has continued business in East Elm street since that time. He was considered an expert in judging meat stock, and it is said that he could determine within two pounds the weight of an animal 'on the hoof.' His market was supplied with butchering stock from Yates County farms until a year ago when he bought and shipped stock for the Buffalo stock market, accompanying shipments to that city. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Flora Wilcox Tears one son, Pvt. Francis Tears, USA, Camp Bowie, Texas three brothers, Erwin, Walter, and Lee, all of Benton two sisters, Mrs. Benjamin Bergstresser of Gorhara, and Mrs. Newman Stape of Benton. The body will be at the Thayer Funeral Chapel 301 East Elm street, until Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when funeral services will be held. Rev. R. N. Jessup, pastor of Penn Yan Baptist Church, will officiate, assisted by Rev. Earl W. Chapin of Batavia. Bearers will be Sheriff Jay Fitzwater, Lester Stork, Burton Cooper, Robert Pardington, Ellas Wallace, and Morris Burke, interment will be in Lake View Cemetery.
