Martha passed away Dec.27 1866.
Seelye - in Westmoreland, Dec.. 8, 1871, Lyman Seelye aged 80 years and 6
months. Friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral Sunday
fore-noon at 10:30 AM., from the Methodist church in Hampton.

(Taken from the died column onpage three of the Utica Daily Observer.
Dec 9, 1971) ( I sent and have received copy of article.) A note from the
typist: It is almost certain that in business that his name was Seeley but
This business signature was Seelye.

That's the way his son, Charles Wesley, done things! The verbal
agreement was thathe had to many relation so he changed his name! I have a
dream, that the nameSeelye is of Scotch-English to date, 1971.

(Information passed down from Roger Xanders). USA Census 1850, Westmoreland
NY. Lyman spelled his name Seeley.1855 Census Lyman spelled his name
Lyman. This info by Daniel P Seelye (notsure who the typist was)
