OBIT
Samuel Edward Seetin, the eldest son of Samuel and Elizabeth Seetin was born May 20, 1871, on the Seetin homestead in the Kanwaka community and here he grew to manhood. He attended the Kanwaka school and spent all his life in the home neighborhood with the exception of six years, five spent at Six Corners and one in the Riverside district, only recently moving to the Model district. He was married February 5, 1908, to May Josephine Hoyt, who with their three children, Raymond, Samuel and Josephine, survive. The deceased also leaves four sisters, Mrs. Mattie Skinner, Mrs. Mary Skinner, Mrs. Peter Kelch of Oskaloosa, and Mrs. Newt Hamlin, and one brother, George Seetin of Perry and a number of nieces and nephews. He passed away Monday morning, July 13, 1931, at the Bell Memorial hospital at Rosedale to which he had gone a week before for treatment.
In his home community, as a neighbor and friend, Ed Seetin's record was without parallel. In times of sickness and death, he was always ready to lend his assistance and no night was too dark and stormy and no road too long or impassable for him to make a a trip on his pony to a doctor or to town for medicine. In the days before telephones and automobiles, this was indeed a help in a time of need. In those days when death occurred, he was there giving assistance and helping wherever he could. His team of black horses and three seated spring wagon were bought for the purpose of being used at funerals.
When the Kanwaka United Brethren church was built, altho not a member of the congregation, no one gave more freely of his time and labor to its erection.
Last year, when the Douglas County Old Settlers' Association undertook to provide a monument for the Daughters of the Revolution marker on the old California trail thru the home neighborhood, he is was who located a suitable boulder, arranged for its use for this purpose, got the consent of the land owners for the site at the junction of highway No. 40 and the Robert Steele highway and made all the plans for its transportation and erection, doing much of the labor himself, without remuneration other than the satisfaction of work well done.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Rumsey funeral home, the Rev. C.L. Heatherington of Lawrence conducting the services. Robert Dews sang "No Night There", and "The Old Rugged Cross", with Mrs. C.W. Straffon playing the accompaniment.
The pallbearers were Guy Bigsby, George Richards, Eugene Emery, Frank Houk, Lloyd Duffee and A.E. Holcom. Interment was made in the faimly lot in Oak Hill cemetery. The large attendance at the funeral and the many beautiful flowers indicated the wide acquaintance of the deceased and the esteem in which he was held.
