Stephens wend@bellsouth.net July 8, 2004, 3:22 pm Cedartown Standard, Cedartown, GA., Thursday, March 13, 1919 Mr. William R. Seals, passed away Friday morning after a long period of failing health. He went to Kentucky a couple weeks before, and was taken very ill while there. His brother went after him and brought him home, but little hope was entertained for his recovery when his condition became known. Funeral services were conducted Sunday morning at the residence on South Main Street by his pastor Rev. W. R. Mackay of the First Methodist Church, and the remains were taken to his former home in Atlanta for interment. Accompanying the family on their sad mission were Messrs. J. E. Purks, W. W. Mundy, W. T. Edwards, W. W. Crawford, S. R. Mendel, A. C. Fulmer and R. W. Hamrick, and Mrs. M. A. Reed. Rev. Mr. Hamrick conducted services there at the home of Mr. Seals’ venerable mother. Mr. Seals was one of our best known business men, and had worked his way up by indomitable energy from the ownership of a small grocery on East avenue to the proprietorship of one of the largest furniture establishments in this section. His success was won by tireless effort, and his death in the prime of life, he was only fifty years of age, is a loss to the community as well as to his family. He is survived by his wife and three children, Reggie, Evelyn and Willie, who have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
