History of the Author 

REV. MONROE SEALS



  Rev. Monroe Seals, son of M. P. and Eliza Seals, was born in Hickory Valley

White County December 24th, 1867, where he lived until young manhood. After

graduating from Alpine, he was married to Miss Almeda Goodwin, daughter of John

W. and Harriett Goodwin. To this union no children were born, but in their later

years they took a three weeks old niece of Mrs. Seals, Bettie Jean Goodwin to

rear, and of whom Mr. Seals was very fond.



  After his marriage Mr. Seals graduated from the Theological class of 1900; at

Cumberland University. During his attendance at School Mr. Seals applied himself

diligently and became quite proficient in Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and to the

last was keenly interested in many fields of human thought.



  He was ordained a Cumberland Presbyterian Minister and served that Church in

many important pastorates in Tennessee until 1906, after which time most of his

work was in Illinois and Indiana, but his love for his native County caused him

to return to Sparta to spend his last days, which were spent in gathering and

compiling the facts contained in this book.



  During the World War he served as a religious Secretary in Camp Johnson,

Florida and Camp Jackson, South Carolina. His bright intellect and unassuming

nature won him to the hearts of the boys in camp.



  To have known Rev. Seals was to have loved him and the people of White County

are deeply indebted to him for making possible the History of White County.
