WELL KNOWN ODESSA RESIDENT GONE

John Seybold, After Months of Illness Succumbs. A Former Supervisor.
Leaves Widow and Two Sons.

All the township and many of the county knew John Seybold. He was a man of 
strong convictions with a strong personality.He served three years as supervisor 
of the township and was never afraid to take a stand for what he believed to be 
the best   thing for the interests of the people whom he served.

For several months Mr.Seybold has been in failing health and realized that his 
time on earth was short. He how ever, was able to keep his energy until almost 
the last, when the dropsical condition reached the heart he simply stopped 
breathing and was gone, no struggle and no acute pain.

He leaves a faithful wife and two sons, Melbourne of Detroit and Herbert living 
in Odessa township.
