He left his home in his native land early in life to cast his lot with those of the new world and finally settled near Saranac, Mich. He was married to Lucinda Olmstead, Nov. 20, 1876 but she was not destined to continue long with him as she departed this life on April 24, 1888. To this union were born four children to gladden their home, Willie J. Seter of Belt, Montana, Annie Mae Stevens of Saranac, Mich.; Lena Williams of Barryton, Mich.; Lucinda Monroe of Monrovia, California. He was again united in marriage to Delilah Tanner, Nov. 17, 1880. They settled in the vicinity not far from where Barryton now stands, later moving to the village where they resided for some years. To them were born two children, Flossie Lee Dempsey of Evart, Mich., and Susie Seter of Barryton. Mr. Seter was a kind husband and father and a faithful friend. He was held in high esteem by the business men of the village, and his loss will be deeply felt by all whose pleasure it was to know him. He leaves a wife, 6 children and fifteen granchildren, five brothers, one sister and many friends to mourn his loss. May heavens choicest blessings rest upon them and console them in their great bereavement is our prayer. The remains were brought here on Wednesday and the funeral services were held from the Congregational church that afternoon, conducted by Ray. E. Wooley."
