farm of 324 acres of fine land, to the cultivation of which he gives a great
deal of attention; has always been identified with the Democratic party. Mr.
Seaney did not have the advantages of education which his children now enjoy,
but nature has endowed him with many good qualities, among others, good, hard
common sense; he has killed more deer than any man in the township.
