SEATON, Henry
===========================================================================
Henry Seaton, farmer on sec. 17, Hinton Tp., P. O., Altona, was born in
Guelph, Canada, April 7, 1843.  His parents, John and Elizabeth (Smith)
Seaton, were natives of England, who came to America in 1838.  The mother
died in November 1877, and the father is still living in Canada.

Mr. Seaton remained an inmate of his father’s house until he was 24 years
of age, when he rented the paternal farm for a period of two years.  In the
summer of 1866 he came to Mecosta County and bought a half interest in the
saw-mill owned by his brother, W. N. Seaton and Bartley Davis, succeeding
to the claim of the latter.  The Seaton brothers managed the mill together
six years, and sold out to Wm. Egbert.  Mr. Seaton and his brother were
again associated in farm interests, which they carried on nearly four
years, when they dissolved, and Mr. Seaton established himself on the 80
acres which has

since been his homestead.  He is a Republican.

Mr. Seaton was married in Canada, June 6, 1867, to Agnes, daughter of
Richard Kenning.  Her parents were natives of Ireland, and she was born in
Hamilton, Canada, Nov. 12, 1846.  She died Dec. 26, 1879, leaving four of
six children of whom she was the mother.  They were born as follows: Ida M.
E., June 6, 1869; Hervey J., April 16, 1872; Albert N., Oct. 23, 1875;
Gracie A, Jan 11, 1877.  Asa and Lillian died in infancy.
