E. D. SEALE, AGED 78, DIES AT WOODVILLE
Had Lived in Tyler County 41 Years and Leaves Large Number of Relatives in Texas
Woodville, Texas, July 14 - Died at his home here this morning at 10:30 o'clock, Mr. E. D. Seale, age 78.
Mr. Seale was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens, liked by every one that knew him. He has lived in Tyler county forty-one years. For about thirty years he was a successful farmer, living about six miles east of Woodville. For the last few years he lived in town. He had been strangely affected for several years. It seemed that he knew everything and everybody but could not say just what he wanted to say at all times. With all this, he kept up and went about most all the time, and worked on his little farm near town some this spring and summer.
For the past month he suffered with a carbuncle, grew worse a few days ago and passed out this morning.

He leaves twelve children, four boys and eight girls. One son, Lewis, and three daughters, Coo, Nannie and Grace were at home with him. Miss Mamie was at Kirbyville with her sister, Mrs. Hawthorn. Dr. Hawthorn and family and Miss Mamie arrived in an auto just after the father's death. Miss Ruth Seale of Kountze arrived yesterday and was with her father during his last hours. Mrs. Bud Hooks of Kountze, William Seale of Pine Hill, Ala., and Watts Seale of Alexandria, La., are expected to arrive tomorrow for the burial. Henry Seale of Silverton and Mrs. Stephens of Sutherland Springs, Texas, will not be able to get here. Interment will take place at the family cemetery at old Hopewell church, about eight miles east of Woodville, about 3 o'clock Saturday evening.
