Seavers in the News - 1976 Obituary of Charles H. Seaver

This week's edition of "Seavers in the News" is a 1976 obituary for Charles H. Seaver of Stockton, New Jersey.  It appeared in the Trenton [N.J.] Evening Times newspaper dated Saturday, 2 October 1976 on page A7:


The transcription of the obituary is:

Charles Hunneman Seaver (1899-1976) was the son of Daniel Badger and Jane Akhurst (Smith) Seaver.  He married (1) Elizabeth Coe Buffum (1898-????) in about 1922.  I don't have a death date for her.  He apparently married (2) Frances Kurtzman.  I have the three daughters in my database, but I have only one of the son-in-law spouses in my database, and none of the grandchildren.  So there's some work to do on this family.

Charles Hunneman Seaver (1899-1976) is my 8th cousin twice removed on the Seaver line, according to my RootsMagic family tree database.
