Notes:

Terry---Hazel Seeley born 17 Feb 1896 Bay City. In 1934 lived in Flint. Later years in Ft. Meyers Florida. She used to send Mom a Xmas card every year from Florida. Then the cards stopped. I found a death notice 5 Sept 1990 with info that seemed to fit her online. Mom said Yeah that is about the time the xmas cards stopped. Anyway I have a note that she died in Flushing, MI and is buried at Gracelawn Cemetery in Flint. She married Jay Cleaon Cheney on Aug 29, 1894. I think they had kids. Mom would know.

Notes:

Betty Osborne/A.R. common ancestor Jesse Shultz/Hannah Mayberryper Terry-Harriet Seeley died according to my notes on July 11th, 1932. I did see her death certificate at the Bay County Records.
4/16/08-Terry had a conversation with Dorothy Seeley (daughter of Harry Seeley)-The only thing she remembers about her Gramma Seeley (Harriet Schultz Seeley) is that she laid in bed upstairs at uncle Clarence's house ill. She used to moan and yell out. Her funeral home record says she died of paralysis so probably had stroke at some time??
4/16/08-Terry had conversation with Phyllis Watson and Dorothy Seeley--Harriet and George II Seeley are buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery. There is a grave marker according to both Phyllis and Dorothy. It is just a flat brick like marker with their names on it. They both think they could find it if we were to go to the cemetery. So that is a project we want to do. Dorothy said seems like it is by a big tree. I had looked in the past for their graves but assumed there was no marker since I could not find it. (update: got location of grave plot from historical society. It is under a big tree, but there are no gravestones there. Stone apparently was removed.)
