Mrs. Julia Hastings Seely, wife of Isaac L. Seely, passed away last evening two miles west of Geneva. Mrs. Seely was born at Charlemont, Miss., Aug. 10, 1823. She came of an old New England family, Dickinson by name, that settled in Amherst, Mass. It was her grandfather and great uncle who gave the ground for Amherst college. Her family came to Onondaga Valley, N. Y., in 1842. She married on Sept. 3, 1855, and in 1861 Mr. and Mrs. Seely came to Geneva, living for two years in the cobblestone house at the end of Hamilton street on the Pre-emption road and then moved to the home which they have occupied ever since, celebrating their golden wedding there last September. In 1866 she united with the First Presbyterian church, and has always been a loyal and faithful member. Her husband survives her and three children, Mrs. Gertrude Seely Smith, Herbert D. and Miss Grace, all of Geneva. Also three brothers, Edward B. Dickinson of Hatfield, Mass.; Frank N. of Skaneateles, N. Y. and Will H. of Syracuse, N. Y. The funeral will be held at the family residence on Monday at 2:30 p.m. Rev. W. W. Weller will officiate.
