Mrs. Warfield’s Brother Dies

E.J. Seely, owner of an ice cream cone factory at Oakland, Cal., formerly manager and owner of the Albany Creamery, and a brother of Mrs. S.N. Warfield of this city, died yesterday at his California home, according to a telegram received by the relatives this morning. No particulars of his death were given and it is believed that the demise was very sudden. Neither did the telegram contain any announcement regarding the funeral, tho it is probable the body may be brought to Oregon as Mr. Seely’s parents were both pioneers of Benton county and their remains are interred in the Alsea valley. Mr. Seely was aged about 50 years and when a young man resided in Alsea. He is survived by a widow, several sisters and other relatives
