General Notes: Husband - Charles Seebold

---

At an early age he began to learn the printer's trade, his parents being then in comfortable but not affluent circumstances. For some time he conducted a printing office of his own and published the Anti-Masonic Star, but in the early 1850s he sold the business and moved to Baltimore, Maryland, to engage in the canning trade. The idea occurred to him during the visit of a brother-in-law, Daniel Holt, an oyster merchant of Baltimore, who, while eating some canned tomatoes at our subject's table, remarked upon their excellence and spoke of the prolific growth of that crop near Baltimore. Mr. Seebold saw at once an opening for a new and profitable venture, and going to Baltimore he purchased twelve acres of land which he devoted to tomato growing, the entire crop being canned for market. The experiment proving a success from the start, he continued and rapidly enlarged the scope of his operations buying from other growers to meet the demands of the trade. He took his brother, Henry, into partnership, and some years afterward, having acquired a handsome fortune, he sold out his interest in the business to this brother who continued to conduct it. Returning to his native place, Mr. Seebold passed his remaining years in well-earned leisure, and in 1882 he built there the most substantial, artistic and expensive residence to be found in the locality. He also invested largely in real estate, and at the time of his death owned two farms in Union township, Union County. He was a stanch Republican in politics, but never a politician. [The article quoted above makes reference to a brother, Henry, but when discussing the subject's parents and listing their offspring, no Henry is mentioned.]
