General Notes: Husband - William Henry Seaman


As a youth he attended the public schools of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, completing his education with one term in the University of Western Pennsylvania. He served an apprenticeship at the carpenter's trade in Pittsburgh, South Side, and for five years followed this as his occupation, in 1858, beginning to raise garden truck for the city markets, a business he found both healthful and profitable and in which he continued for nine years. Through the cultivation of the small plot of ground to which he was able to attend personally, he acquired a love for the soil and the freedom of outdoor life, and purchased a larger tract, fifty acres in extent, on which he reared small fruits and conducted general farming operations for a period of twenty-five years. At the expiration of this time he became a contractor in Leetsdale and Sewickley, in 1889 adding to his business lumber dealing. In 1907 he discontinued that branch in which he had first established, but was still the proprietor of a thriving lumber business. As a Republican Mr. Seaman held many local political offices, among them those of burgess, assessor, school director, township commissioner, and was elected (1914) justice of the peace. He was appointed to the first named office by the court when Leetsdale entered the class of boroughs, and was long active in local affairs, although later not to the extent that he enjoyed in his youth. For more than fifty years he was a member of the Presbyterian Church, about thirty-five years of that time serving as elder, and for more than thirty-four years officiated as superintendent of the Sunday school. He twice served as delegate to the general assembly of the Presbyterian Church.
