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 Arizona Republic [Phoenix, Ariz.] newspaper dated Saturday, 16 August 1980, Page 16, Column 2:
The transcription of the article is:

This obituary provides a brief summary of the life of Winifred (Judge) Seaver, including her work history, address, and associations.
Winifred (Judge) Seaver (1885-1980) was born 15 December 1885 in Dover, New Hampshire, the daughter of William Henry and Eva (Fuller) Judge. She died 13 August 1980 in Mesa, Arizona. She married (1) Fred Solon Seaver (1875-1925) on 26 October 1915 in Phoenix, Arizona. Fred Solon Seaver was born 11 November 1875 in Parkersbury, Iowa, the son of Solon Long and Amanda Alice (Jones) Seaver, and died 10 April 1925 in Davenport, Iowa. They had no known children. She married (2) William Isaiah Burk (1874-1949) on 23 December 1929 in Mesa, Arizona. They had no known children.
Fred Solon Seaver (1875-1925) is my 7th cousin 3 times removed, with a common Seaver ancestor of 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 no family to mourn her loss. I am glad that I can honor Winifred (Judge) 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.
