Death of M. H. Seeley.

Miles H. Seeley, whose serious illness
was noted in the last issue of this paper,
passed away at the home of his sister
in Sonoma, Calhoun county, Tuesday
afternoon of this week. AS has been
noted before Mr.. Seeley had been visit
ing his brothers and sisters in Calhoun
and Kalamazoo counties where he was
taken sick with his old trouble of the
heart. The trouble assumed more se-
rious appearances this time than ever
before however and soon developed
into a fatel illness of both heart and
liver. His daughter Edith was sent for
and has been caring for her father since
the first days Of his illness. Later his
son Dana was sent for and remained
with him to the end. The body was
brought home Wednesday night and
funeral services were held at the home
IN Bennington this forenoon at ten
O'Clock, Rev. Carlos H. Hanks, of this
city officiating The interment takes
place in the cemetery at Deerfield Cen
ter, Livingston County. the family driv-
ing thru with the body.
Miles H. Seeley was born in the
state of New York, October 9TH, 1888,
but three years later was brought to
Michigan by his parents who settled in
Calhoun county. He enlisted in the
Sixth Michigan Cavalry at the time
when that regiment was first recruited
and served with the regiment until the
time of its mastering out, after having
served in the west under Custer when
the Indian uprising in that part of the
country were more troublesome than
the conditions in the south. 1t was
during his service in the Sixth Cavalry
that he met and married Miss Asenath
Royce under conditions that were quite
romantic. Miss Royce had gone from
Byron with the Byron troop of the
Sixth Cavalry, or with the troop in
which the Byron volunteers enlisted,
as an army nurse. At Washington,
while the regiment was stationed there,
M. H. Seeley was assigned to duty as a
hospital steward and while engaged in
that duty, met, won, and married Miss
Royce who soon after returned to her
home in Byron and remained there
until Mr.. Seeley returned after the
mastering out of his regiment. They
then made their home in Livings-
ton county until about thirteen years
ago when the family moved from
that county to this city, Mrs. Sec
ley having died shortly before their
removal and sister, Miss Lottie Royce
who had always made her home with
the family, taking her place as the house
keeper for the family. About two
years after coming to Owosso Mr.. See-
ley married Miss Lottie Royce who
now survives him.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Seeley is sur
vived by five children, three sons, Dana
Roy, and Hal H., and by two daughters,
Edith and Orel, Roy and Edith being
at home and the others having been in
Ann Arbor since the organization of
the gasoline lamp company in which
they are interested. Mr.. Seeley is also
survived by two brothers and two SIS
ters, DR.. o. +. Seeley and II. III. Seeley,
of Climax, Mrs. John Fisher, of Son
oma, and Mrs. Truman Nichols, OF
Athens.
