Mrs. Johnson Gets News of Her Brother’s Death
Mrs. Charles Johnson of 809 Dexter street has received word of the death of her brother, Dr. Thomas F. Seeley of Norwalk, O.
Dr. Seeley, who was 83 years of age, visited Mrs. Johnson in the fall on his return from attending the National Grand Army encampment, held at Grand Rapids. He was in his usual health at that time and happy over the experiences of his meeting with old comrades of the Civil war, of which he was a veteran.
Dr. Seeley, a dentist, attended to the duties of his office notwithstanding his advanced age. It was an attack of pneumonia which caused his death.
Mrs. Johnson will be unable to attend the funeral services for her brother, which are to be held tomorrow afternoon, but a message from her son, Charles Serage of Chicago, states that he and his wife and son and their nephew, Ralph Serage Umstot, will be present.
