SUN. AFTERNOON
Carl Christian Seiter Had Lived
In This Vicinity For
Seventy-Six Years
Carl Christian Seiter, son of John
David' and Margaret Seiter was born
October 29, 1869, in Canton, Ohio, and
[•departed this life June 17, 1951, at the
age of 81 years, seven -iroonthsv and
19 days.
When he was five years of age his
family moved to Vernon Township,
Where he has resided since that time,
establishing a home and acquiring the
respect and friendship of all his neighbors. He was one of Vernpn townships oldest pioneers,
- On December 31, 1906, he was united in marriage to Evelyn Crawford,
and to this union were born two sons,
William and Carl. His wife, Evelyn,
preceded him in death .four years ago.
He lived a Christian life and was
ever helpful in his good trait of kindness to others, always doing the kindest deeds in the kindest way. His ever
cheerful disposition and humorous
wit that he possessed, endeared him
to his family and friends.
He was an active member of Clare
I.O.O.F. Lodge for 40 years and was
a Past Noble Grand. He was also a
member of Clare Rebekah Lodge.
One of the greatest enjoyments in
his latter life was talking over the
hardships and experiences of long ago
with his acquaintances, both young
and old. He had a wide knowledge of
olden days, and his stories of the pioneers were told in an interesting manner in which only he alone could tell
them.
He leaves to mourn their loss, besides his* two sons; one sister, Caroline Butts, of Saginaw; one brother,
Jacob Seiter; of near Rosebush, 11
grandchildren; many other relatives
and a host, of friends.

$6,500 and $7*000 with $5,000 insurance.
For all those who "_iresftd_up" for

A* "short round" mortar shell was
responsible for the accidental death
of eight Marines and the wounding pf
23 others yesterday when it fell and
exploded in a command post during
practice firing at Camp LeJeune, N. C.
One of the dead Marines is Francis
Frey, of Lansing who was the husband of Mrs. Ray Archbold's niece,

Mortal* crewmen say that Such accidents are possible when the crews
are using overage ammunition, or
when a defective shell is fired with
the intent of lobbing the iprojeetile

the lines, only to have the shell fall
short of intended targets.
Frey was a reserve serving with

to be released soon.
