General Notes: Obituary of Nimrod Seaney

22 Aug 1906, Palestine (IL) Reporter

The death of Nimrod Seaney, one of the oldest residents of Crawford
county and Montgomery township, occurred at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. George W. Duncan, near Flat Rock, at 7:48 a.m. Monday, as the
result of injuries sustained in a run away Friday afternoon. Mr.
Seaney had driven to Flat Rock on business and as he approached the
Big Fort railroad crossing in the northeast part of town found a train
blocking the crossing. He waited until the train had pulled the
crossing, and as he supposed, departed for the north. Not being able
to see well, he failed to notice that the train was simply switching
and as he started to cross the tracks, a dying switch was made. The
cut of cars struck the rear part of his buggy and alarmed the horse
which he was driving causing it to become unmanageable and run away,
the rig striking a hitching rack and then a fence, resulting in
throwing Mr. Seaney out. When he struck the ground, he hit upon his
head in such a manner as to seriously injure the spinal cord in the
back part of his head and neck, resulting in paralysis below the waist
line from which he never recovered. He was removed to the home of his
daughter, Mrs. G. W. Duncan, his condition being too serious to permit
of taking him to his home near Morea and his suffering ended at 7:48
a.m. Monday.

Mr. Seaney was a son of Samuel and Catherine Seaney, two of the first
settlers in Montgomery township and was born December 11, 1827, near
Morea, where he has resided throughout his long life. At the time of
his death, August 20, 1906, he was 78 years, 8 months and 9 days of
age.He started life as a farmer when just a boy with practically no
capital and has proven a successful business manager, owing a true
farm about a mile west of Morea of over 300 acres of the best land in
the county at the time of his death as well as a farm of 100 acres
south of Gordon which he had recently given his twin sons, Chalmer and
Elmer, the former having erected a fine residence thereupon this
summer.

Mr. Seaney's first wife was Miss Rhoda Higgins, also of Mongomery
township who died over 30 years ago. From this union the following
children were born Benjamin Seaney of near Duncanville, Ed Seaney, who
resides in the extreme southeastern portion of La Motte township,
almost three miles form this city, Mrs. Mary Duncan of near Flat Rock;
Mrs. Eliza Duncan, of near Flat Rock, Mrs. Martha Swan of Duncanville,
Mrs. Emaline Prior of Wattensaw, Arkansas; Mrs. Julia Sanders of
Elkton, Colorado, Mrs. Rose Cunningham, of Cozad, Nebraska, Mrs. Belle
Duncan of near Flat Rock, Miss Lucy Seaney, who still resides at the
old home near Morea. Miss Sarah Seaney, the first wife of George W.
Duncan and a sister of the present Mrs. George Duncan, and three other
children who died in infancy, were also children of Mr. Searney by his
first marriage.

Abouth thirty years ago, Mr. Seaney was joined in matrimony a second
time, Mrs. George Higgins, whose maiden name was Miss Fannie
Daugherty, being the lady of his choice. To this union two children,
twin sons, Elmer, now of Chicago, and Chalmer, who still remains at
home, were born.

Mr. Seaney has never been a member of any fraternal organization or
church but has always lived an honorable and upright life and has been
considered among the leading citizens of Montgomery township for over
half a century. His dealing were always conducted in a strictly
honest manner and all who knew him were proud to be numbered among his
friends, none of his numerous acquaintances ever having occasion to
speak aught but good of him. He is survived by his wife and one
brother, Uncle Samuel Seaney, also of Montgomery township, besides the
above enumerated children and many grandchildren and great
grandchildren. The family were connected with the East Union
Christian church. Mr. S. G. Richards, of this city, made his home
with Mr. Seaney from the time he was nine years of age until his
marriage, a period of some fifeen or sixteen years and always looked
upon Mr. Seaney in the light of a father.

The funeral services were being conducted at the M. E. church in Flat
Rock this afternoon (Wednesday) at two o'clock by Andrew Duncan and
interment will take place at the Seaney graveyard on Mr. Seaney's farm
where the members of the Seaney family have been buried for the past
half century. His daughter, Mrs. Julia Sanders, of Elkton, Colo., and
his son, Elmer, who has a fine position as a pharmacist in Hyde Park,
Chicago, arrived in time for the funeral, which was very largely
attended.

In the death of Mr. Seaney, the entire community felt a personal loss
and but for the tragic accident which caused his death, it is quite
certain that he would have enjoyed many additional years of usefulness
in the community as his physical strength and mental faculties seemed
in no wise impaired by his advanced age. The Reporter joins with the
host of friends in expressing sympathy with the family in their hour
of sorrow and bereavement.
