Posted by: Robert Langford Subject: ISAAC SEAMAN Message: I have an original copy of "The Lodge Record" Watertown NY dated October 15, 1898 which states the following obituary: "Cortland News. Cortland NY, Oct 8 - P.G., Isaac Seaman; the first Noble Grand of Vesta Lodge, No. 255 of Cortland, N.Y. died at his home in Cortland, September 16, aged 82 years. A large number of Odd Fellows attended his funeral from the different Lodges of the district. Vesta Lodge conferred the Initiatory Degree on two candidates October 3. There were a numer of visiting brothers present from Lodges at Dryden, Rome, Scott, Watertown, Cincinnati and John L. Lewis Lodge of Cortland. After Lodge closed a banquet was served in the dining room. All went home feeling that htey had passed a pleasant and profitable evening. E.B." I hope this helps someone in the Seaman family with their family tree/geneology.
