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 Detroit [Mich.] Free Press newspaper dated Sunday, 22 June 1980, Page 47, Column 2:
The transcription of the article is:
"SEAVER

This obituary provides a short summary of the family of Catherine Seaver, without any information about her age, education, employment, or associations.
Catherine Mae Balsamo was born 1 April 1927 in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of Vito and Florence L. (Kredowski) Balsamo. She died 20 June 1980 in Detroit, Michigan. Catherine married (1) Joseph Salvatore Pagliolo (1913-2002) in 1946 in Detroit, Michigan. They had three children:
* Joseph Pagliolo (c1948-????).
* Robert Pagliolo (c1950-????)
* Michael Pagliolo (c1952-????).
Catherine married (2) Norman Eugene Seaver (1930-2011) on 29 October 1953 in Thurston County, Washington. They had three children:
* Norman Jacob Seaver (1954-2014), married Marsha L. --?-- (1956-????).
* Victor Donald Seaver (1956-????), married 1987 Lois M. Kay(1951-????).
* Frederick Frank Seaver (1958-2001).
I am not related to Catherina Mae (Balsamo) (Pagliolo) Seaver. I am not related to Norman Eugene Seaver (1930-2011) to my knowledge - he is descended from Christian and Lydia (Kissinger) Seaver who married in 1834 in Stark County, Ohio.
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 a short death notice with only family information. I am glad that I can honor Catherine Mae (Balsamo) (Pagliolo) 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.
