I found the obit below on the Phelps County MO website in their obits from the Rolla HERALD. Someone had been inquiring about SEASE on this list.--Melinda --------------------------------------------------- CHARLES FREDERICK SEASE 8 Aug 1918 Charles Frederick Sease, who had been suffering from Brights disease, answered the summons of the death messenger at about noon last Tuesday, July 30, at his beautiful home in this city. Mr. Sease as practically all our readers know, was one of our best citizens-a genial, whole-souled man, who always stood out strongly for the best interests of this community, and was in the forefront of every progressive movement. His departure is the taking out of a substantial cog of the wheel of community progress-a great net loss to Dixon and vicinity. Mr. Sease was born December 28, 1867, being 50 years, 7 months and 2 days old. In compliance with his repeated request, Mr. Sease¹s body was cremated. Funeral services were conducted from the residence at three o¹clock Thursday afternoon by Rev. H. W. Bostwick. The large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, a number of whom came from a distance, and the great profusion of beautiful flowers was mute testimony of the high esteem in which our deceased townsman was held. At the close of the service at the home the members of the Masonic Lodge, of which Mr. Sease was an honored member, took charge and conducted the burial service under the rites of Free Masonry, interment being in the Dixon cemetery. The above was taken from the Dixon Pilot of August 1, 1918. Mr. Sease was well known in Rolla, and many friends here mourn his loss. He was a brother of August Sease and Mrs. Caroline Strobach, of this city.

Dear Melinda, Thanks for GGUncle Charles' obit. There seems to be quite a family history of thyroid disease. Marty "Melinda K.
