Mrs. W. R. Seeley Expires While
Setting in her chair.
Heart Disease the Cause

Mrs W. R. Seeley expired yesterday afternoon at 3:30 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. G. Kellogg.
Since the death of her husband five months ago, the relatives of the deceased had noticed a decline.
She had been afflicted with heart trouble for several years, but it was not supposed that her condition was so serious.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Seeley returned from Alden, where she had been staying at the old farm
home. She was not compelled to take to her bed and death claimed her while she sat in a rocking chair talking to her daughter who was doing some sewing.
Apparently she was no worse than she had been before.

In glancing up from her work Mrs. Kellogg saw that a change had come over her mother who passed into the great beyond in a few seconds.

By her death three sons, C.A. of this city, W. H. & E. E. of Alden and one daughter, Mrs. Kellogg of this city are left in the shadow of a great sorrow.
Mrs. Seeley was a woman highly beloved by all and her death will be sadly mourned by her acquaintances.

Her age was 67. Brief services will be held at the Kellogg home tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. and the remains will be taken to Alden on the 8:30 train where burial will take place at 10:00 o’clock.
