Albert Seely, an old time resident of this section whose homestead is located near State Line, died at the Home for the Aged in Elmira Tuesday afternoon April 5th, aged 78 years. Mr. Seely was at one time manager of the Home for the Aged but resigned the position and returned to his home a few years ago in the spring of 1901, becoming an inmate of the same institution. His disease was cancer of the stomach and he was ill about two months. He was a man of strict honesty and integrity and was universally honored and esteemed. He leaves a wife and son, William H. Seely. The funeral was held in Elmira Thursday at two o'clock p.m.; burial in Woodlawn Cemetery (Millerton Advocate, Millerton, Pennsylvania - undated obituary from scrapbook collection).
Mrs. Martha Kinner Seeley's death occurred in Elmira Wednesday, October 16, 1912 at the age of 86 years. She was the daughter of Patience Miller and William Kinner and the wife of the late Albert Seeley, whose death preceeded her's eight years. She leaves one son, William Seeley; a grand daughter, Mrs. Martha Seeley Strong, and two grandsons, Albert and Charles Seeley. Mrs. and Mrs. Seeley were residents of Seeley Creek (so named for the Seeley family) where they spent most of their lives upon their farm, where they lived, loved and toiled for those who were near and dear to them and dispensed charity for those less fortunate than themselves, for their hearts and hands were ever open to the needy and their doors to the friendless. One can hardly think of Mrs. Seeley without in the same moment thinking of Mr. Seeley also, so close was the companionship of husband and wife and the time that bound them so dear that when adversity came and failing strength to them with their weight of years, they were thankful that they had been spared to one another and bravely without a murmur turned from the pleasant home, the wide spreading fields, where they had planted and garnered for many seasons that were their's no longer and took the pittance that was left and entered the Home for the Aged as inmates where they at one time served as matron and superintendent. Mr. and Mrs. Seeley did not live in vain although they were not successful from a wordly point of view. What a grand reward there must be now and one can almost hear "Well done, thou good and faithful come up higher." Mrs. Seeley won the love of all and in her sweet face was mirrored the grand character within. When the life clouds, which were many, were the darkest and her heart torn with anguish, there was ever the same calm exterior, giving hope and strength for the help of others. Yes, a beautiful earth life ended when Martha Kinner Seeley closed her eyes here and entered into the rest that she had been longing for through the many long wearly months of illness. She had devoted care of a loving granddaughter and kind attendance of other friends but she gradually drifted away from our shore to the "Bright Forever". Just as she was about to cross the sunset bar, a friend took her hand saying "you will soon have a happy meeting for Mr. Seeley is awaiting you upon the other shore," and although suffering so she could not speak she pressed the hand that held hers and smiled, happy that God's call was near. The following was written by Miss Maria Bennett, a blind and aged lady of the Home for the Aged, while Mrs. Seeley was matron: May God reward you for your care Always will be my humble prayer. Rich blessings may his hand bestow Through all life's hours where 'er you go. His word is faithful, kind and true, All that is promised He will do. And when this mortal life shall end New pleasures He will still extend. Such lovely treasures as He'll show Eternal joys with heavenly peace, Life that will never feel decline Each soul will in His image shine. Yes, God's image all divine.

Another Old Resident Gone
Edward Seeley, one of Jackson’s foremost citizens, who was held
in general esteem, died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. William Tillinghast, on Seely Hill, last Friday morning, after a lingering
illness of consumption. Mr. Seeley had been gradually failing in health
for several years past, but we believe was not confined to
his bed until during the past winter. A few weeks since he was removed
from the old homestead near Alder Run iron trestle to the house of his
daughte, as above mentioned, where every thing was done for
his comfort that themost loving care could devise; but nothing could
stay the ravages of the dread disease, and he died peacefully and without
evident pain, conscious to the last, at the time before
stated. Mr. Seeley had passed the alotted age of man, last fall having
brought his seventy-third birthday. He was a scion of old pioneer stock
and a life-long resident of this region. His wife, whose
death ocurred about six years ago, was a sister of William and George
K. Miller, Mrs. Seth Corwin, and Mrs. John E. Barnes. Their family was
composed of six children, a son and daughter of whom are dead;
the living members being Nathan Seeley, of Canton, Pa., Bert
Seeley and Mrs. Wm. Tillinghast, of this place and Mrs. John E. Woodhouse
of Elmira. As a kind and accomodating neighbor, a public-spirited
citizen and a man of strict integrity, the deceased possessed
the friendship and high regard of all who knew him. The death of such a
man is a serious loss to a community, and expressions
of sorrow are heard on all sides. The funeral was largely
attended at the home of Mrs. Tillinghast on Sunday last, after wich the
remains were buried by the side of other deceased member
of the family in the Friends cemetery, but a short distance away. The
ADVOCATE has been requested to tender thanks on behalf of the bereaved
family for many kind offers and welcomes of sympathy,
so freely extended in their time of sorrow (The Advocate,
Millerton, Pennsylvania).
