on 1880 census in Wauzeka Wisconsin
Aug. 20,1883 was Postmaster of Haney twp. Crawford Co. Wi.
1885 on Wisconsin State Census.

My cousin, Flossie Chadwick Ward, who lived with Nancy Taft when she was a teenager, said that Nancy had told her Seymour and she ran a store in Mt. Zion Wisconsin (Crawford County / was known recently as Hulbert Hall) and that Seymour loaded the wagon to go to town for supplies and was never heard from again. The family speculated that he drove across the Wisconsin River (between Crawford and Grant counties) on the ice and fell through or met with foul play.The family was convinced that something terrible had to have happened because he was financially well off with a wife, land, business, and his brothers and sisters nearby. (NOTE; there was a toll bridge across the Wisconsin River at Boscobel from 1875). Seymour married Nancy in 1879, on 1880 census Waueka; 1885 state census in Haney Twp. (no 1890 census).
