June 4, 1900, and died in his own
home after a very brief illness, on
February 8, 1917, at the early age OF
16 years, months and days.
The sadness of his death is all the
greater coming as it did just at the
completion of his work for gradua-
ton from the High school, his diplo-
ma having been sent to him during
his last illness.
A life of rich promise has been
suddenly promoted, not from school
to the world of business, but from
school to life eternal. Besides his
father and mother he leaves to mourn
his early death a brother and sis
ter, several near relatives, and many
warm and hearty friends.
| The following loving tribute from
his own pastor beautifully sets fol
the genuineness of his Christian life
and the reality of that faith that hit
had in the Good Master into Whose
gracious presence he has so early
been called:
John o. Seaton was brought III
in the Cragin Congregational Sunday
school He was always thoughtful
boy of good behavior. In the fall o
IA he Joined our regular Confirmation
Glass; he did his work in the Cate
chism well, and at Easter, '16, wa:
confirmed, thus becoming member
of the church. John was never {
demonstrative boy but always faith
full to duty, and uncommonly FREE
from the frivolities of youth.
sour hope was that hewould grow
up to be useful Christian man. w
believe the Master had other and
better use for him, and therefore tool
him away from the burdens, and care
of this world of sin to render seryic,
where the perils to character, ant
hope cannot reach him. So that i
we could see as we know he nov
sees, our tears would cease to fall
and we should rejoice in his promo
ton. Sincerely his pastor, Theodor
.lC. Hunt"
