"Funeral Thursday —

"Mrs. Phebe Kennan Seddon, 75, one of the Maysville community’s finest women, died at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday at Hayswood Hospital. She was the wife of George E. Seddon, prominent retired dairy farmer.

"Mrs. Seddon, long ill from the effects of recurrent strokes during the past year, had been removed to the hospital last Friday from her residence, 15 West Third Street.

"She and Mr. Seddon had lived at that address since 1946, moving into town from their Stone Lick Road farm home. However, it was not until a year ago last March that they disposed of their four-tract landholdings in the Orangeburg vicinity.

"Mrs. Seddon, a devoted wife during more than a half-century of marriage and a paragon of motherhood, was also a loyal friend whose compassionate nature manifested itself in multifold ways. An insight into her spiritual character was given nine years ago next month when she won an automobile in a supermarket drawing. Her first words were, ‘Praise the Lord. I’ll drive it and visit the sick.’ The sick, the infirm, all less fortunate than she enlisted her deep concern. And Mrs. Seddon was not one of those persons who stop at the threshold of good intentions. Her sympathies unfailingly took the form of action until ill health forced curtailment and later, relinquishment of deeds inspired by inborn goodness.

"Until her vigor became impaired, Mrs. Seddon was an active member of Trinity Methodist Church. For several years she served as president of the Trinity Women’s Bible Class there and also as a member of the commission on Education.

"Mrs. Seddon was a charter member of the first Homemakers club organized in Mason County. It was the club at Orangeburg. In this phase of activity as in all other phases, she gave effective leadership, while at the same time exerting, although unknowingly, a noble influence upon those associated with her in club and church work.

"A life-time Mason Countian, the deceased was born December 17, 1887. She was the last survivor of seven children of the late Charles M. and Phebe Coryell Kennan, members of old and representative families of the eastern sector of the county.

"Her marriage to Mr. Seddon, son of a Methodist minister to whom tribute is paid in the name borne by a Maysville church, took place on February 16, 1911. They were married in Covington by the late Rev. George W. Bunton.

"Survivors besides her husband, now 84 years old, are three daughters, Mrs. Carwin Ryan, of the Old Halfhill Road, Mrs. William Hord, The Highlands, Mt. Carmel Road, and Mrs. Howard Atherton, of the Dixon Pike; a step-daughter, Mrs. Hobart Pollitt, Stone Lick Road, and a step-son, George Edward Seddon Jr., Dayton, Ohio. Also surviving are 11 devoted grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Three brothers and three sisters predeceased her.

"Death struck as Mr. Pollitt, accompanied by a 21-year-old neighbor, Roy Arthur, was driving along the Stone Lick Road near Seddon Lane. He had stopped at the Slack-Sherman place for a load of corn and was taking it to Southern States for grinding when the coronary snuffed out his life.

"Born in Lewis County March 1, 1902, John Heber Pollitt was a son of the late John and Emma "Ott" Cropper Pollitt.
