some relatives he had left in Orange
county, when a lad of IL years. He
had left home to see the world, jour
neying to Missouri. Facial resem-
blance was so strong that Geraghty
said he guessed it wouldn't be such
a hard job and advised the stranger
to get off at Salisbury Mills and he
would find his brother, Mr.. Seaman,
superintendent of the out door work
of the paper mill. The two brothers
had not seen each other in over half
a century.

is still older and is now living with
