SEELEY – In Lakeville, Conn., Aug. 25, W.E. Seeley, 64 Yrs.
He died at his summer home after an illness of only an hour’s duration, death being caused by a paralytic shock. He had been a prominent figure in political and business life for a number of years, and was president of the First National Bank of Bridgeport at the time of his death. He was a close friend of the late President McKinley and at the opening of the latter’s second term was asked to accept the position as treasurer of the United States. He declined it for personal reasons.
