Brown, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Britcher, Mr. and Mrs. Redhead accompanied the remains of deceased to this place.

Seelye, died at her home, east of Linesville, Sunday evening, in the 64th year of her age. Several weeks ago she was taken to Meadville hospital for an operation to remove a tumor but the attempt proved futile, and her death was then known to be only a question of days. Her suffering was intense up to the time of death. She was conveyed to her home Friday on a cot. She was a $1000 beneficiary member of the Royal Templars of Temperance of this place, and also an active member of Linesville grange. Her husband and two daughters, Mrs. J.M. Irons and Mrs. Carlie Gilliland, Chicago, survive her. Funeral at home Wednesday at 1 o’clock p.m. Rev. Washburn officiating, interment in Linesville Cemetery. That's all for this page!
