THOMAS SEYMOUR
FUNERAL SET FOR
2 O'CLOCK SUNDAY
Citizens of the valley and com-
munity were shocked and sad-
dened early yesterday afternoon
by news of the death of Tom Sey-
mour of Greenville following an
accident at the Setzer mill.
Resulting from a lumber carrier
which went temporarily out of
control, Seymour was crushed be-
tween the vehicle and a pile of
lumber when he failed to get out
of the way, according to reports.
He was transferred by ambulance
to the Batson Hospital where
plasma was administered, but suc-
cumbed at about 3:30 p.m.
Thomas A. Seymour was 64
years of age on April 17, and was
a native of Pennsylvania. He came
here from Marysville in 1931 and
established himself in the radio
and electrical business which he
operated until recent years when
he took charge of the electrical
work for Setzer Forest Products
Co. He had lived in California for
some 35 years.
He was somewhat of a recluse
and lived very much to himself
until he was married to Fay Abbey
about four years ago. He had re-
cently gone into the development
of ceramics as a hobby and took
much interest in helping her in
this field. He was highly thought
of by all who knew him and was
both kind and charitable in a very
secretive way, being misunder-
stood by many because he covered
a heart of gold with a gruff ex-
terior which belied his true nature.
He was not active in churches
or lodges, but" contributed much
time and money to projects that
were of benefit to the community,
among them being his support of
the Indian Valley Choral Club and
the making of street signs for the
town of Greenville.
He is survived by his mother,
Mary H. Rhoads of Akron, Ohio; a
brother, Henry M. Rhoads of that
city, and a stepdaughter, Mary E.
Abbey of Greenville.
Funeral services will be held
at the American Legion Hall in
Greenville on Sunday, May 20 at
two O'clock with interment in the
Greenville cemetery under direc-
liion of Manes Funeral Home.
