Ardis
E. Seeney 1918-1999
With
sadness I would like to inform all of the passing of Ardis E. Seeney,
my mother, and widow of the late Dr. James H. Seeney, son of James Clifford,
grandson of Frederick. She passed on Friday, January 29, after
a long battle with Alzheimer's.
She
was the youngest of five children born to Isabelle (Miller) and Clayton
Fox in Ann Arbor, MI, in 1918. Her maternal lineage goes back
to Granny Fountiane, an escaped slave who made her way to Canada, settling
in an area between Detroit and Toronto. Grandpa Fox was believed
to be a 'Black Indian', as written about by Katz.
Historically,
I believe there is a connection between the Delaware who moved north
around 1750, eventually settling in an area outside Toronto, who were
active in the anti-slavery movement, and my mother's ancestors who appeared
in that area. (From Charles E. Seeney)

"David
Lawrence Seaney, 92, of Hendersonville, North Carolina, passed away
February 14.
"He
was born December 10, 1909 in Robinson, Illinois, to David Bruce Seaney
and Jessie Florence Treadway Seaney. His great-grandfather, Sam
Seaney, was one of the original settlers of Crawford County, Illinois.
He attended school in Pontotoc, Mississippi, where his father went to
farm, and completed high school there at Chickasaw College.
"As
a young man, he managed a Standard Oil station in Sawyerville, worked
on a dredgeboat on the Black Warrior River, ran dry cleaners in Akron,
Alabama, and was a member of the Alabama National Guard. During
World War II he worked for Remington Rand in Asheville, North Carolina.
"In
1947 he moved to near-by Arden to raise chickens for the Campbell Soup
Company. He opened a greenhouse with his wife, Ressie Mae, when people
kept asking to buy the mums he planted near the hen houses. He
retired from the florist business to build his own house and the Dogwood
Mobile Home Court in Hendersonville, where he worked for nearly 15 years
as flower consultant to a local feed and seed store.
"Two
daughters, Sherry Johnson of El Paso, Texas and Sarah Waechter of Hendersonville;
and three grandsons, David, Joe, and Steve Waechter survive him.
"On
Mr. Seaney's 90th birthday, his grandson David wrote of him:
Since
I was a little boy, I thought he was the most precious being on Earth.
He knew how to do all the little boy things and he seemed to enjoy them
like a little boy too. He liked to make bows and arrows out of hickory
wood or flutes from bamboo. He liked to build tree houses and plant
gardens. He liked to read stories and most of all tell them.
His stories were always good ones too, not like some people"s stories.
He liked to take walks by ponds and look and see if fish could be seen
in the springtime. He would tell me of things a boy could do in the
woods to have fun like watch owls or harass hornets without getting
stung, of course. Most of all he liked to let me be a little boy.
"He will be dearly missed."

(born about 1886,
daughter of John Devine Seeney and Mary Concealor)
We are very sorry
to have to report the sad news of the death of Sister Delcie H.
Seeney, librarian of the Cheswold church, and daughter of Brother
John D. and Sister Mollie Seeney, aged twenty years. She was a faithful,
Christian young woman, having grown up practically a Sabbathkeeper,
was the eldest sister of little Annie Seeney, president of the Gleaner
Band, and was a valuable aid to her in her work. Sister Seeney was taken
with diphtheria Sunday night, November 4, while attending a Bible study,
and died November 11, strong in Jesus. She told her mother and friends
not to grieve for her, for she would not have to sleep long, for Jesus
would soon come and wake her. She had been a valuable help in the church,
having held the different offices of Sabbath-school superintendent,
assistant superintendent, church clerk and treasurer, and at the time
of her death was librarian. She was conscious to the very last. A little
while before she died, she asked to see all the members of the church.
Just as many members as could get there went and stood on the outside
of the house and looked in at the window. She rose up in bed waved her
hand, and said, " Good-by, my work is finished." On account
of the disease with which she died, funeral services will be held later.
Pray for the bereaved family in their hour of trial. - Reported by Fred.
H. SEENEY, minister of the SDA congregation.

Sarah Virginia Seeney of Cheswold died Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2001,
in the Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital in Dover after a brief illness.
She was 80. Mrs. Seeney was born May 11, 1921, in Philadelphia, the
youngest of four children to the late Isaac and Lola Archer.
As
a child, she was nurtured and baptized at the Bright Hope Baptist Church
of Philadelphia, where her father served as a deacon and church clerk
and her mother a deaconess. Mrs. Seeney grew up in Philadelphia and
attended the public school system there until the 10th grade.
She
married the late Richard L. Seeney and from this union, a son was born.
She always encouraged her son to go further in school than she did.
She was very proud when he graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy
at Kings Point, N.Y., serving as an officer in the Navy and later became
a Corporate Executive. Although they had only one child, they helped
to raise many other family members. "Uncle Richard and Aunt Sarah"
became synonymous with mom and dad to many. The lives of Walter, Gerald,
Richard, Tony, Sarah, Janice, Nancy, Karen and many others were impacted
by "Aunt Sarah's" love and care, especially, during their
formative years. She continued to raise Karen Sookie until her adulthood.
Mrs.
Seeney was a loving and caring daughter to her ailing mother, whom she
nursed and cared for until her death in 1970. She worked most of her
adult life as a factory worker doing a variety of jobs from cutting
fabric for women's clothes to cutting metal for containers. While working
in the later position, she began to experience the loss of her hearing.
After
her retirement in 1986, she moved from Moorestown, N.J., to Cheswold
the birthplace of her mother's family.
She
was active for many years at the Modern Maturity Center in Dover enjoying
artwork for which she received several awards. In recent years, her
hearing impairment became worse which limited her activities. She loved
to work puzzles at her kitchen table and also loved "her"
sports: football, basketball, baseball and also track. She also talked
with her niece, Birdella, every day, who would check on her to make
sure she was okay. Everybody loved "Aunt Sarah."
In
addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers,
Cornelius and Isaac and her sister, Hester.
She
is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, William "Billy"
L. and Gail Seeney of Palm Coast, Fla. and two grandchildren, Terri
L. Seeney of Bloomfield, N.J. and Joshua I. Seeney and his wife, Stephanie
of Newark, along with a host of nephews, nieces, cousins and other relatives
