Glen Herbert SEELEY

Glen Seeley, PG Employe, Dies Here

Arrangements had not been completed Tuesday night for the funeral of Glen H. Seeley, for 24 years an employe here of Portland General Electric company and long an active member of Capital post of the American Legion who died at his home Monday.

Mrs. Seeley was confined to her bed with illness at the time of Mr. Seeley’s death and their only son, Donald, now in the US army, was expected to arrive in Salem last night to arrange details of the service.

Returning from naval service at the close of the first World war, Mr. Seeley entered the employ of the PGE in 1919. It was from his work as station operator that he had gone to his home, 944 North Winter street, only a few hours before his death. He had not been ill, friends said.

Survivors include the widow, Clara M. Seeley; the one son, who has been stationed at Madison, Wis,; the mother, Mrs. Mae Seeley of Portland; one brother, Ray Seeley, Portland; sisters, Mrs. Margaret Finch, Portland, and Mrs. Helene McDonough, Seattle.
