  1. Orin Austin SEAGER b. 14 Sep 1872, Fowler,Trumbull,Ohio,USA; d. 4 Dec 1965, Ogden,Weber,Utah,USA; bur. Honeyville cemetery,Honeyville,Utah.

    Notes:
    Cause of Death: Pneumonia, an old man's friend said the doctor.
    Autobiography of Orin Austin Seager, in my own hand writting, written Sept. 14, 1952, on my birthday:

    "I was born September 14, 1872 in the little village of Tyrrell Hill, Trumbull County, Ohio to Mary Emeline Tyrrell. My father, Orin BarberSeager, had died April 23, 1872 at the age of 29 of inflammatory rheumatism, five months before my birth. My father and mother had been married about five years and had had no children, my mother being rather frail and delicate. SomeMormon elders called at their home and gave Mother a blessing, and promised herthat she should have a child, and I was born in due time in fulfillment of that promise.

    My grandmother, Lucretia Webster Tyrrell, and her two daughters,Aunt Sylvia Adeline, and my mother joined the Mormon Church, but Grandfather Asahel Tyrrell, and his two sons, Asahel Hazard and Austin Elijah never acceptedthe gospel.

    Aunt Sylvia married Simpson Misner, and they came to Utah about1869 and located first in Provo, then in American Fork, Utah. Grandmother Tyrrell made a trip out to Utah to visit them, and the day before she had planned to return home became ill and died in American Fork. Grandfather Tyrrell, apparently suspicious of the Mormons, felt that they were responsible for her death.Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Simpson with their family, in order to allay Grandfather's fears and correct the wrong impression, returned to Ohio. They returned toAmerican Fork in the fall of 1872 or spring of 1873, bringing Mother and me with them.

    After her arrival in American Fork, Mother met and married Warren Barnes Smith in 1873 as his second wife. Of this marriage six children were born, four girls and two boys: Telitha, Asahel, Ortencia, Estella, Mary, and Junius.

    I grew up in American Fork, feeling the need of a father's interest and affection, as my stepfather was lacking in both towards me. However, a good mother planted in my heart a love for the gospel and respect for the priesthood.A small inheritance from my father enabled me to attend the Brigham Young Academy for three years, a great blessing and spiritual strength. At about the ageof seventeen I entered the Brigham Young Academy at Provo, when it was housed in an old warehouse near the railroad depot. One summer I secured employment with a section crew working between Schofield, Carbon County, and a small place called PV Junction. One day while helping to pump the car, I was thrown off andone of my legs was badly injured, so that a train had to be flagged. I was removed to my home in American Fork. (It has been said by his daughter, Mildred,that the doctor wanted to amputate, but his mother would not permit it. Instead she treated his wounds with herb popoultices and saved his leg. His remaining limp was hardly noticeable.) I was disabled most of the summer and returnedto the B.Y.A. that fall on crutches. I secured lodging with the family of thestation agent, so did not have far to go to school. That year the Academy wasmoved to its new home on North University Avenue.

    While I was attending school at Provo, Mother and a young woman friend came over to visit me one day. They drove a horse and car on their return home. On the outskirts of American Fork, a dog ran out and frightened the horse, and Mother was thrown from the seat, catching on something so that she was dragged some distance. Her young companion was dazed for a time, but soon regained consciousness and ran to a neighbor's home to seek assistance. Mother was taken home and a doctor summoned. Shesuffered the loss of one ear and had part of her scalp torn loose. An old midwife came with the doctor to care for her, and it was the midwife, under the doctor's supervision, who sewed the scalp back on and made the other necessary repairs. The next day Aunt Sylvia came and treated her injuries with No. 6, a homemade preparation of their own. I think it migh

The body was removed to the Deseret Mortuary in this city. According to Sheriff John H. Zundel, who made an investigation, Mr. Robinson and daughter were driving east in a Marmon touring car. Immediately east of the cement bridge over the slough on the highway, he suddenly observed a wagon with a hayrack just ahead and being unable to stop hiscar, drove around the left side. Here he met the Andreason car, which was proceeding west. The left front wheels of the cars collided and the force of theimpact threw the Andreason car over the embankment where it turned over severaltimes. Mr. Marenus Olsen of this city was driving the hayrack and witnessed the accident. Mrs. Andreason was born Dec. 6, 1896, at Logan, a daughter of Orin A. Seager and Mary Robinson Seager.
