Notes:

per Terry---George Andrew Seeley (the 3rd) born 16 Feb 1902 in Bay City. died 20 Oct 1951 Bay City. Burried at Elm Lawn in same Plat at his Uncle Walter Schultz. Married Elsie Woodard 18 may 1935 in Bay City. No kids. Elsie had a son before marrying George. Elsie used to live in AuGres during the summer months and would visit Mom at the store. I think she was a lot younger than George?
from hyatt funeral home records:---George A. Seeley (the third) Born in Bay City. Died Oct. 20, 1951 at U. of M. Ann Arbor from Respiratory Paralysis. His parents George Seeley and Harriet Schultz. Wife Elsie gave the info. Buried Elm Lawn.
""4/16/08 Terry had a conversation with Dorothy Seeley (daughter of Harry Seeley)--There is a story about Pretty Boy Floyd (Dillinger).(Floyd--Dillinger are two different people)??? He was in Bay City. He went to a gas station (probably to rob it??) anyway he took the gas station attendent hostage. He went to Detroit before he let the gas station attendent go. I think they said he gave him money to get a bus home. Anyway.. gas attendent was George Seeley III. This happened in the 1920's. The gas station was at 124 Garfield in Bay City. For some reason the address was remembered in the story. Mom once told me years ago a story that she thought someone was held up at gunpoint but thought the person died. I never could find any story to that. But I may not have been looking right. She was not sure about the story and who the relative was. So I wonder if this is the story. She told me tonight it kinda sounds familiar at least the kidnapping part of it. I would think the newspaper would have a story about it.
George Seeley III died of respiratory paralysis per funeral home record. He fell down a flight of stairs at his home and broke his neck. Mom thought she had told me that before. Well the more I think about it, I think she did tell me. I am getting very forgetful anymore.
George Seeley III was a joker. Always kidding you said Dorothy. He used to say you are not a Seeley, you are a VonZulch. Dorothy said they all thought he was joking. Dorothy said that none of them thought there was anything to his VonZulch comments. He would say it often.
Carl Woodard is George Seeley's step son that killed himself. His wife Elsie Woodward was divorced. George Seeley III nickname was Spike Seeley.""
