HARLEY E. SEWARD LAID TO REST
Harley E. Steward
The following with regard to Harley E. Seward is clipped from an exchange. He was the eldest son of Mrs. Thos. E. Coover, his father having preceded him in death. He is survived by his mother and one brother, Ira V. Seward, of Chicago and a half-sister, Mrs. C. M. Carter.
“Harley E. Seward was born in Blairstown, Ia., Dec. 27, 1891 and died at Mason City, June 19, 1921, aged 30 years, 6 months and 15 days.
He was married on Dec. 24, 1912 to Iva S. Tucker and to this union five children were born, Beatrice, Edna, Kenneth, Harold and Raymond, all of whom survive him, except Harold who died two years ago. He leaves his wife and 4 children, a mother and brother, Ira, and three half-brothers and 4 half-sisters to mourn his loss. He was a loving husband and a most affectionate father. He was a man, who, in the words of the scripture “did unto others as he would want to be done by,” and this is the universal expression of all who came in contact with him. To know him was to like him.
The funeral was held at the M. E. church at Hansell, the Rev. Starr conducting the services. Burial was at the Harlan Cemetery.”
