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."

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 and loving
friends.
