Charles Wesley Seelye, son of Lyman Seelye and Martha Griswold
was born April 24, 1840 Westmoreland, Oneida Co. NY.

On Jan. 21,1862he enlisted with Co. B of the 19th Wisconsin Infantry which
came into light ofthe Civil War. The war came to an end on Palm Sunday -
April 9, 1865. On April 14th President Lincoln was shot while watching a
play at Ford theater by John Wilkes Booth and died the next morning. On
April 20, 1865, he married SarahFrances Parsons, born 13-April-1846
Portsmouth, Norfolk Co, VA, where they were married by Army Chaplin
Vincent Palem.

Since his release from service hetaught grammar schools in Centralia and
Springfield, IL. (I have found no information that will support the idea
he was a school teacher in the Illinois State School System Daniel Seelye)

To this union were: Fred Hundley; George Emery; Libbie V; Effington (Effie
or Ef); Alice; Anna Mary; Martha (Minnie or Mattie) Bell; Charles Parsons;
and Harry Orrin. Land boom of 1883 encouraged the family to move to Dakota
Territory, but Blunt turned out to be only a wind swept siding of new plank
shacks where thousands of free-land seekers had beendisgorged to over
flow the one hotel and the lean to boarding houses. Many sought shelter
from driving snow in empty box cars, in tents and dugouts, or densmade by
topping stacked sacks of corn and bales of hay with planking.

Theclaim on 160 acres was finally spotted 5-1/2 miles east of Blunt. When
wheat crops failed the second year settlers turned to freighting moving
westward eventhough they had to cross the river on a pontoon bridge.

A common tale thosedays was that the haziness off along the horizon line
was dust raised by buffalo herds, but no one ever seen any buffalo. It
seems to me, so just enjoy theprick of life! like the Indians.

A person would keep there interest so thaton July 4th they could bounce
and bang into town in a wagon with the rest totake in the Indian celebration.
Town sheriffs locked the saloons and kept thekeys to prevent the usual
trouble so the celebration turned out to be largelya mild milling around
all day and a banging and bouncing home again at night affair.

To this union were Charlotte (Lolla or Lottie) Grant; Mae (May) Hundley and
Ella Frances. When his daughters needed high school education and a jobhe
sold the place in 1897 to Harry Tarbell, a son-in-law, and moved to Pierre
SD.in the little house that faces west with three windows by the front door
On Fillmore Street. A few years later he built the first house on Adams
Streetand Capitol Ave. and lived on his $50.00 a month Civil War pension.

In 1900another sad story was to lived down. When Libbie Ann Graham's
said to be kindof ornery father, pinned a tag on her lapel and put her on
a train addressedto C. W. Seelye in South Dakota. Sarah had a time
raising her as thought she never would, but finally she succeeded.
In 1902 the adoption was final.

Charles passed away, June of 1924 and Sarah the 11th of Nov.
Burial was made in the Riverside cemetery, a little south of the
tool house, Pierre, South Dakota.
