Galveston, Texas, December I4.--George
Sealy is dead This news was brought
here by dispatch sent to his family by
r. Waverly Smith, who with others, was
accompanying him 10 New York when his
death occurred. The message was sent
from Rols, Mo, and stated briefly that
Mr.. Sealy had died while on the train,
and it is presumed that death was due to
heart failure.
When it is stated that Mr. Sesly has
for years been the leader in almost every
enterprise of any magnitude in the city
and leader whose counsel was always
safe, and whose name was sufficient to
secure any amount OF credit or cash de-
sired for any purpose, some idea OF the
great loss sustained by the city in his death
may be obtained In addition to his stand
ing in the financial world, his character
and life were an example we'll worthy of
emulation and his charity made him loved
of all.
In the life of George Sealy is an ex-
ample OF what may be accomplished in this
great land OF opportunity by we'll directed
energy, pluck and good judgment. Born
at Wyoming Valley Luzernc county, Pa,
January Q, 1855, he earned his first money
at the age OF - years obtaining for his
services in sitting on pillow beam to keep
the pillow in the ground at certain places
the sum Of 10 cents per day and his
board. His early boyhood was spent on
farms in Pennsylvania and in clerking in
country grocery stores. At the age OF az
years he secured a position as station
agent for a railroad company at Kings.
ton. Pa, al salary Of $50 per month, the
highest salary he had made up to that
time though he had nevertheless saved
SIroo. he held this place but short
time, when. deciding 10 come 10 Texas. he
gave his mother $1,000 to use in case Of
necessity and spent another $500 in taking
commercial course. and left for Texas
with $Ioo.
He arrived at Galveston with s2s in
1887. Securing a position with the firm of
Ball, Hutchings & Co., which was then en-
gagged in mercantile and cotton business
he made his services invaluable. and with
in a few years became a member OF the
firm. 1t was at his suggestion that the
banking department Of the firm was or
gani1ed, and he assumed charge of this
department Probably the largest enter
prise undertaken by Nj Sealy was the
| building OF the Gulf Colorado and Santa
| Re railroad which, through his efforts
was extended from a point about fifty
miles from Galveston to Dallas and San
Angelo. During this time Mr.. Sealy wa,
president Of the road, which position h,
occupied until the consolidation was ef
