The Searing Family Blog

Every now and then our name pops up in unusual places.  Recently a listing appeared on eBay for a Last Day Cover, “Searing ND) (in a group of other such covers, with other place names).  I had never heard of this place before, although I had a couple of great aunts settle in the Dakotas.   Searched around a bit and found the following, courtesy of Roots Web data:  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ndmckenz/S.html

Searing

This was a farm post office established July 25, 1916 with Thomas C. Taylor pm.  It was located in NW 1/4 Sec.10-147-103, Thirty-three miles SW of Watford City, and named for the site owner, Julius Searing Taylor, aftter Taylor had been rejected because of duplication in Stark County.  The post office closed March 15, 1921 with mail to Alexander.  It reopened February 7, 1922 in SE 1/4 Sec. 28-147-103, and seven miles SSE of the original site as Searing, but only after a name change to Dean had been rejected.  In 1928 it moved one mile NW to SE 1/4 Sec. 28-147-103, and operated until pm  Annie Kemna closed the facility September 30, 1952 with mail to  Sidney, MT.  A population of 3 was reported in 1940.

So now I’m really curious.  Anyone heard of this before?  Know who this Searing or Searing family is?  Looks like a nice little research project.

Just a sampling of the #searing roundup on Twitter during the latter part of February…..join in the fun, make an entry on Twitter..some interesting things being done by Searings!!dansearingSr Dan Searing, Sr

Time for a few last minute updates to squeeze into Feb.  First is an article by Daniel Searing, MD (not me, ha).  I would like to feature him in Notable Searings if I can find sufficient information.  Here is a link to at least a summary of his article:  http://bit.ly/fUOsl6.        Don’t forget to check #searing on Twitter if you are so minded.  I have tried to tag Searing contributions and retweet them with the hashtag as I find them and as appropriateWatch for an entry on the Searing Quartet, which I am still working on. Although not a ‘family’ business they were very open and friendly and in ‘all things Searing’ they deserve a mention.          Also, please check out the group My Name is Searing on Facebook and leave a mention!  Also, I take any and all suggestions and ideas!

ATTN: Searings!  there is a wonderful musical instrument by Burge Searing on eBay for only another day….search for:Earl Burge Searing Signed Numbered Hammered Dulcimer    So far the price is pretty reasonable.  See blog.searingfamily.com for more details on Earl Searing.  These hand made instruments don’t come up very often.   I am NOT the seller…:).  But it would be great to have a Searing own this item.
