MOGADORE – His name was Elliott W. Seeley, but almost from the minute he opened his little drug store at S. Cleveland av. and Mogadore rd. in the 1920s people here called him “Doc.”
Doc Seeley operated his drug store until 1958 when he sold his interest in it, and kept working as a druggist in the same store. He became ill three weeks ago.
Saturday Doc Seeley, 74, of 3870 Orchard st., died in Akron City Hospital.
“He was very interested in Mogadore and in Magadore people,” a friend said. “We all liked Doc.”
Born in Lodi, he moved to Mogadore in the early 1920s and adopted the village as his own.
He was a 32nd degree Mason in Scottish Rite Valley of Akron, Yusef Khan Grotto and Akron Lodge 83, F&AM.
Mr. Seeley belonged to Mogadore United Methodist Church.
He leaves wife Sevina; daughter Mrs. Gerhard Kalkofen, Akron; stepdaughters Mrs. Gerald Bolyard, Akron, and Mrs. Lee Kunkle, Mogadore; 10 grandchildren; brother William, Vienna, Va., and sisters Mrs. Charlotte Albrecht in Florida and Mrs. John K. Soules, Parma.
