ANOTHER AGED CITIZEN PASSES
Decease of Charles Henry Seeley, Aged 80 Years
Charles Henry Seeley, one of our aged citizens, died last Saturday night at his home on North Pearl street. He was 80 years old and had been very ill a long time.
Mr. Seeley had a large acquaintance and the respect and esteem of all his friends, He was the son of Samuel Ward Seeley and Henrietta Potter Seeley and a brother of our townsman, Robert M. Seeley. He was educated in the Bridgeton schools and when a young man he enlisted in the civil war, becoming a member of the Twelfth New Jersey Regiment. He was assigned to the Quartermaster's Department and served three years.
After the war Mr. Seeley went to Titusville, Pa., during the oil excitement where he was employed as a bookkeeper. Returning from Titusville he entered the office of the East Lake Woolen Co., where he remained until he took the place of his brother, Robert, in the John W. Stout Canning Co., his brother having gone into other business. From this position he went into the office of the Cumberland Nail & Iron Co., as bookkeeper, being transferred to Philadelphia. While boarding in Camden he made the acquaintance of Miss Frances O. Elwell, who at that time was a school teacher. This acquaintance resulted in marriage.
Later he transferred to the Bridgeton office where he remained as bookkeeper for many years, even remaining as agent and care-taker of the works and property of the concern long after its failure. For some years he was engaged in the ice busines with William R. Thompson.
He was a member of George G. Meade Post, G.A.R.
In his decease a most estimable man and a good citizen has gone from us and another veteran of the "day which tried men's souls" has passed to his reward.
