This two-story home was built about 1890 in then-Coffee County by Hiram Sears. It has a double veranda and touches of gingerbread trim. Located on Axson Road in Pearson.

Love these old type homes! The very large woodwork is so beautiful! I grew up with an old two story Riverside type home with full Attic with three dormers that had two roll out windows for ventilation!

Shea,
Do you happen to know if it was Hiram Sears, Sr. [1814-1901], or Jr. [1847-1900] that built this house? Or perhaps a different Hiram Sears?

I believe it was Jr. (1847-1900)’s home. His grandchildren are the grantors on a 1983 deed to the present owner’s father. I also have a Hiram Franklin Sears (1876-1950) from this same line of “HFs” in my tree as my maternal great-great-grandfather.

Can you share the names? These would likely be cousins or siblings of my mother who is now 96 – Phanita Sears Rife.

The names on the 1983 deed are Vitress Corbitt Gaskins, Mrs. J.B. Youngblood, Ora Mae Harper, Sears Morrison Corbitt, and Mrs. J.A. Roberts as the grantors, and Mrs. B.B. Brooker as the grantee.

I think this “might” have been my great grandfather’s home. His son was Clifford Sears. He had a daughter named Ora.
