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 Leominster (Mass.) Daily Enterprise newspaper dated Monday, 19 November 1934, Page 6, Column 2a:
The transcription of the article is:

This legal notice by the mortgagee (Leominster Co-operative Bank, J. Ward Healey, Treasurer) of land in Leominster, Massachusetts is to sell at public auction the house and lot at 20 Hall Street in Leominster, Massachusetts owned by Frederick W. Seaver. The property was purchased by Frederick W. Seaver on 3 October 1927 from Emilie M Steele, and the mortgage was taken on 12 December 1931 with the Leominster Co-operative Bank.
Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942) married Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962) on 21 June 1900 in Leominster, Massachusetts. They had seven children, including my father, Frederick Walton Seaver, Jr. (1911-1983). As a result of this foreclosure, my grandparents moved to an apartment in Leominster at 90 Main Street. The Great Depression took a toll on my grandparents when my grandfather lost his job in the celluloid industry.
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 family undergoes hardships. I am glad that I can share this story about my grandfather, Frederick Walton Seaver today. I knew that they lost their home, but dd not know the details of the lot or the dates of purchase and foreclosure.
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.
