Webb W. Seeley. Death Ends Residence Of Twenty-four Years In Mill Valley

Webb W. Seeley, aged 71 years, died in Ross General Hospital on Saturday, December 17, following a brief illness. A carpenter by trade, he was known to Mill Valley people as an industrious and thoroughly reliable man. His quiet and unassuming manner did not bring him into contact with a large circle of friends, but those who knew him held him in high regard.

Mr. Seeley came to Mill Valley from Michigan twenty-four years ago. His wife had died prior to that and he never remarried. Few of his acquaintances here knew that he had been an instructor on the staff of Michigan State College, specializing on dairy subjects, in which business he had earlier engaged with his father. A throat affliction which hampered his speech caused him to forsake his teaching career and since coming to Mill Valley he has been engaged in carpentry.

A home which Mr. Seeley owned was destroyed in the fire of 1929. During his residence here, he always lived alone. He was active and seen about town until about a week previous to his death. He then complained of an old ailment, which treatment failed to relieve. Finding him in a weakened condition and unable to move from his home, a friend, Mrs. J. J. Jackson, took him into her home and when he failed to rally Dr. Landrock was called and ordered his removal to Ross Hospital, where death came two days later.

The wife of a deceased son, Mrs. Esther Seeley, lives in Alameda, and assumed charge of the funeral arrangements. There are also two brothers of Mr. Seeley, said to be in the east. The remains were removed to the Robert F. Russell Funeral Chapel in Mill Valley, followed by cremation at the Chapel of the Chimes, Oakland. There was no funeral service.”
