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 The Philadelphia [Penn.] Inquirer newspaper dated Thursday, 4 April 1985, Page 54, Column 6:
The transcription of the article is:
"SEAVER
"DFAVID B., suddenly on April 1, 1985, of Gtn., husband of Jennifer M. Hawkins and father of Benjamin T., Paul G., Timothy W., and Matthew T. Seaver; also survived by his parents, Benjamin and Margaret Seaver and one brother, Paul S. Seaver. Relatives and friends are invited to his Memorial Service, Sat., 2 P.M. at Germantown Friends Monthly Meeting, 47 W. Coulter St., Gtn. In lieu of other rememberances, memorials to the Matthew T. Seaver Trust Fund, c/o Dean Witter and Reynolds, Inc., P.O. Box 109, Jenkintown, Pa., 19046, are preferred."

David Burleigh Seaver was born 19 March 1932 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Benjamin T. and Margaret (Tompkins) Seaver. He married (1) JoAnn Tuttle (1930-????) on 11 August 1956 in Sonoma County, Califronia, and they may have had the four sons listed in the death notice. David B. Seaver died 1 April 1985 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. He married (2) Jennifer T. Hawkins.
I am not a Seaver cousin of David Burleigh Seaver because his Seaver immigrant ancestor was Barnard Seaver (1870-????), born in Germany, who married Pauline Loeb (1870-????) in 1895 in Philadelphia.
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.
