HIRAM L. GEAR is a native of Ohio, where he commenced life as a printer boy. He
taught school for a while, after which he studied law and was admitted to
practice in the state courts of Ohio. Mr. Gear came to this state in 1863, and
settled in Downieville, where he married the daughter of Judge Peter Van Clief.
In the fall of 1865 he came to Plumas county. Two years after, he was elected
district attorney, and served one term. He left the county in the spring of
1870, and returned to Ohio, where he abandoned the practice of law; and being of
an ecclesiastical turn, was assigned a pulpit in the Baptist church, and still
remains in the ministry.
