Stancil and Sarah M. Seabolt. He was born in Georgia. My great aunt tells me he went to Gladewater, Texas and got into the oil business, and became a millionaire. He was supposed to have owned a drug store, a theater, a bank, and a hotel, and was buried in what used to be called "Stancil cemetery" with his wife Irene or Inez. I can't find any information about him. The cemetery he was buried in was supposed to have oil wells inside it. I don't know if this helps.
