SEELEY G. DEAM, 76, DIES SUDDENLY
Seeley G. Deam, 76, life-long resident of Niles and one of the most active members of Trinity Episcopal church, died unexpectedly this morning at 1 in his home, 510 Sycamore street.

One of Trinity's oldest members in years of service, Deam had served in virtually every capacity in the organization. A Sunday school teacher many years, he had long been senior warden and served as assistant financial secretary. He also was a member of Masonic groups and of the United Commercial Travelers' association.
Friends may call in the Price and Kiger funeral home until noon Thursday when the body will be taken to Trinity church to lie in state until the hour of the funeral at 2.
