Harry G. Seeds, CaShler or the Dela-
ware County State Bank, of Manches-
ter, died at his home on Main street

Words are poor means Of express
ing the sympathy that is felt for the
stricken family. Death never seems
so SAD as when it enters the home of
young people and takes one or the
other from the family circle. Mr..
Seeds and his family were happily sit
uated in their beautiful home and en-
joyed the confidence and high esteem
of the people of this city. His un-
timely death came as great shock to
his many friends, and those who had
been associated with him in the busi-
ness activities of Manchester find it
exceedingly hard to believe that his
labors have been cut short so early
in.life.
Mr.. Seeds was one of those energet-
ic and wide,awake young men who did
his work well. During the past year
and half he gave generously OF his
time and strength to various war ac-
tivities, through his official capacity
in. the bank. He was connected in Of
fetal ways with many business inter-
ests in Manchester, and was always |
ready and willing to assist in every |
movement that had as it's object the |
upbuilding Of the business interests |
of his home city. He was the official
representative of the Manchester Com
mercial club in the National Chamber
of Commerce, and kept in close touch
with the big business problems Of the
country.
Mr.. Seeds was member of the First
Congregational church of Manchester,
and was an officer in the local Knights
of Pythias lodge. He was also men,
ber Of the Masonic order, and was a
highly respected and valued member
of these organizations.

Truly it can be said of Harry G. {
