was married to C.C. Seal, Mr. Seal dying here August 12, 1932.  She was a 
member of the Baptist Church, a consistent Christian, a good neighbor and a 
woman of many fine traits of character.

   She is survived by three sons, John Thomas Seal of Richmond, Charles V. 
Seal of Brooklyn, N.Y. and James L. Seal of Littleton, N.C.; a daughter, Mrs. 
C.E. Thomas of Washington; by nine grandchildren; two sisters, Miss Penelope 
Holland of Franklin and Mrs. J.L. Griffin of Holland; a brother, Jason P. 
Holland of Holland, and many relatives and friends.

   The body was brought to Franklin to the home in North High Street where 
Mrs. Seal had been living with her sister, Miss Penelope Holland, for several 
months and funeral services will be conducted from the residence this (Friday) 
afternoon at 2:30 o’clock by Rev. R.D. Stephenson, pastor of the Franklin 
Baptist Church.  Burial will follow in the family plot in Poplar Spring 
Cemetery here, and the active pallbearers will be: E.P. Jones, Harry
