General Notes: Husband - Charles E. Seanor


He continued to reside on his father's farm until he had reached the age of sixteen years. At that time the family went to New Alexandria to live, where his brother, George J. Seanor, was elected sheriff of the county. Charles E. Seanor, then a mere lad, was made turnkey of the jail - a position which he continued to hold under two successive sheriffs during a period of about nine years. His fitness for the position was very obvious, so that it became very easy for the Board of Poor Directors in making their choice of a superintendent for the county home to select him, and this was done. Mr. Seanor assumed the duties of his new position, January 5, 1914, his wife becoming matron. This institution housed as many as three hundred and thirty inhabitants at times, during his incumbency, the insane alone occasionally being in excess of one hundred. The farm contained one hundred and eighty-three acres, and under Mr. Seanor's care was kept in a high state of cultivation and contributed largely to the sustenance of the inmates. Mr. Seanor had under him about sixteen assistants, several of whom were nurses. Mr. Seanor's vacations were few and short, but such spare time as he could take he spent in automobiling with his family, and in this way saw much of the country and had many delightful journeys.
