CHILD - 1827-1900 OBITUARY - Maria Louise Seaman, wife of A.G. Seaman and mother of W.W. Seaman, died June 26 at the homestead farm in Morris township, Tioga Co., Pa, where she had resided for nearly 60 years. The deceased was born in Montoursville, Lycoming county, May 24, 1826, daughter of Richard and Margaret Child and was one of nine children. Her family settled on the Williamsport and State Line turnpike in the township of Morris, near the eastern and southern line when the township was a wilderness, save a few settlers on Babbs Creek. This was nearly 60 years ago. Since that time she has lived to see the forest disappear, the log house give way to the framed building and that to the modern architectural brick. The wolf, panther, bear and deer have been cleared away with the forests, giving place to human beings, cultivated fields and beautiful homes. She was familiar with pioneer life and did her share towards reclaiming the wilderness and bringing about the change that has taken place in that vicinity within the past 60 years. Her charity and benevolence knew no bounds and kindly and neighborly deeds were without limit. As a wife and mother she was indulgent, affectionate and loyal, endearing herself by her courteous manner to all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was married December 24, 1844, to A.G. Seaman, who survives her, and leaves one son, W.W. Seaman of Morris township, besides a large number of relatives and friends to mourn her death. The funeral occurred on June 28, which was largely attended. The pall bearers were D. Linck, John Linck, Wm. Heyler, Frederick Heyler, Edward Gregory and John Haggerty. Her remains were tenderly laid to rest in the cemetery at Harts church by loving hands. The poor have lost a true friend, the community a good neighbor and the family a loving parent and wife. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the aged husband, and W.W. Seaman and his family in this their hour of affliction.

BILLY EVANS LOSES IN PLUCKY FIGHT FOR LIFE TWO SURVIVE
Saturday Fire at Metro Station Takes Heavy Toll, Dawson and Yahn Seriously
Burned, Yahn Tells Story. His plucky fight for an almost infinitesimal
chance for life ended, Billy Evans, victim of the Metro gas station fire
Saturday afternoon, died Monday evening at the Blossburg Hospital.
Trapped in a mass of raging flames, he and his fellow worker, Max Dawson
were frightfully burning as they courageously struggled through the blazing
doorway that blocked their exit from a gas laden tank pit at the Metro
loading station on Charleston street. Life was very sweet to Billy and
Max. Married but a year, Billy and his young wife, formerly Erma
Kennedy, were just moving into their little home on East avenue.
Max, married last November to Katherine Brown, has been living with his
wife's family on Woodland avenue, earning and saving in the hope of soon
being a home owner. Steady, well employed and happily married, they
had everything to live for. Walter, "Billy" Evans is the son of Orlando
Evans, of Stokesdale. He was born at Morris in 1906. Three
years ago he came to Wellsboro, and was employed by the Metro stations,
Inc., as a driver. Last April he married Erma Kennedy, daughter of
Mrs. Grace Kennedy, of Conway street, and recently moved in a home on East
avenue. "Billy" is survived by his wife; his father; two brothers,
and a sister, Mrs. Ed Lee, brothers, Raymond Evans of Blossburg, and Robert
Evans, of Wellsboro; three sisters, Mrs. Blanche Russell, of Towanda; Mrs.
Harriett Kil Lee of bourne of Knoxville, and Mrs. Ed Lee of this place.
"Billy's" happy-go-lucky, friendly air won him a legion of friends throughout
the county. His ambitious, honest service made him a valued, trusted,
coming employe of the Metro corporation. Prayer service will be held from
