Seavers in the News -- Death Notice of Henry F. Seaver (1873-1964) of Beloit, Wisconsin

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 Morning Star [Rockford, Ill.] newspaper dated Friday, 29 May 1964, page 5A, Column 8:

Henry Fremont Seaver (1873-1964) was born 5 July 1873 in Manchester, Illinois, the son of  Knute Sjrursen Qvarme and Thora Olsdatter Jordahl (Hyland) Seaver.  He died 27 May 1964 in Beloit, Wisconsin.  Henry married Gertrude Henrietta "Gertie" Westby (1872-1956) on 27 October 1897 in Boone County, Illinois.  They had one child:

*  Leona Gertrude Seaver (1900-1971).

In the 1900, 1910, 1920. 1930 and 1940 census records, Henry F. Seaver is listed as a farmer in Manchester, Boone County, Illinois and then with no occupation in Beloit, Rock County, Wisconsin in the 1950 Census.

  

I am not related to Henry Fremont Seaver (1873-1964).  He is a son of Norwegian immigrants   Knute Sjrursen Qvarme and Thora Olsdatter Jordahl (Hyland) Seaver who settled in Boone County, Illinois.

There are over 10,000 Seaver "stories" in my family tree - and this is one of them.   Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes an elderly person dies quietly.  I am glad that I can honor Henry Fremont 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.
