Errors in notice reported to C-T
WELLINGTON – Mrs. Boyd McConnell, RD 3, Wellington, reported that errors were made in the story of the death of her father Orville J. Seeley last week.
According to information received at the newspaper Mr. Seeley’s uncle, Charles L. Seeley, was listed as a brother. Two other typographical errors made Mr. Seeley’s widow’s name Mary instead of Mae and Mrs. Boyd McConnell to read Bloyd McConnell.
The Chronicle Telegram regrets the errors.
