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 Valley News [West Lebanon, N.H.] newspaper dated Monday, 15 November 1982, Page 4, Column 6:
The transcription of the article is:

Gary William Seaver is my 7th cousin 1x removed. Our common Seaver ancestor is my 7th great-grandfather Joseph Seaver (1672-1754).
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 relatively short obituary. I am glad that I can honor Gary W. Seaver (1950-1982) 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.
