Obituary of Seabury Tracy, probably from a newspaper in Randolph, New York:
DEATH OF SEABURY TRACEY (SIC) AT HIS HOME IN FLORIDA
Expired Before his Family From Randolph Could Reach Century-
Burial at Hoschton, GA.
Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Wadsworth and H.J. Tracey returned from the south last week after attending the funeral of Seabury Tracey, a brother of Harlan and also of Mrs. Wadsworth. The party left Randolph two weeks ago today, summoned by a telegram announcing the serious sickness of Mr. Tracey. They had not reached his home when they were met by announcement of the sick man's death, and were told to await the coming of the funeral party.
After the funeral the Randolph folk visited several points in the south and were unfortunate enough to be in the region devastated by the cyclone which swept in from the Gulf of Mexico and did serious damage to property. Also they experienced a slight earthquake during their absence from home.
Friends in this section were distressed to learn of the death of Seabury Tracey, who expired at his home in Century, Florida, on October 13th. Deceased was son of William H. and Caroline Newton Tracey, and was born in Little Valley, October 1, 1859. His early life was spent in Napoli and Little Valley, but in 1885 he went to the west and was engaged in railroad construction in Wyoming and Montana. Afterwards he went to the south and held a position with the McPherson Dry Kiln company at Atlanta, and later with a lumbering concern at Fargo, Georgia. In 1898 Mr. Tracey constructed a mill at Century, Florida, for the Sullivan Lumber company and has had charge of the properties since that time, except for a couple of years when he was located at Gainesville, Ga.
Mr. Tracey married Sadie Darby of Hoschton, Ga., on October 27, 1895, who survives with their son Leon and daughter Anice (sic). Five brothers survive: T.L. Tracey of Missouri Valley, Iowa; E.E. Tracey of Kennedy, H.J. Tracey of Randolph, O.H. Tracey of Bridgeport, Ill., and Bert P. Tracey of Whittier, Cal. Two sisters, Mrs. S.A. Holbrook of Falconer and Mrs. W.H. Wadsworth of Randolph, also survive.
Funeral services were conducted at Century on Saturday afternoon and at Hoschton, Ga., on Sunday afternoon. His remains were laid to rest at Hoschton beside those of his infant daughter, who died twelve years ago. The floral offerings were many and unusual beauty.
