Seavers in the News -- Mrs. Ethel M. Seaver Dies in 1976 in Berlin, Vermont

 Here is this week's edition of "Seavers in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Seaver that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.

This week's entry is from the The Times-Argus [Barre, Vt.]  newspaper dated 2 July 1976, page 9:

The transcription of the article is:

Ethel Mary Warner (1896-1976) was born 11 October 1896 in Blue Island, Illinois, the daughter of  Frederick and Jane (Neath) Warner.  She died 1 July 1976 in Berlin, Vermont.  She married Leon Clayton Seaver (1897-1954) on 7 June 1922 in Northfield, Vermont.  They had two children:

*  Ransil Leon Seaver (1924-2009), married 1946 Imogene P. Stoner (1925-????).

*  Leslie Gordon Seaver (1927-2012), married 1954 Patricia Pauline Rogers (1930-2020).

I am an 8th cousin two times removed to Leon Clayton Seaver (1897-1954).  Our common Seaver ancestor is my 9th great-grandfather Robert Seaver (1608-1683).

There are over 10,000 Seaver "stories" in my family tree - and this is one of them.   Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes a person has an obituary that is fairly complete.  I am glad that I can honor Ethel Mary (Warner) Seaver today.  

You never know when a descendant or relative will find this blog post and learn something about their ancestors or relatives, or will provide more information about them to me.
