"GRANDMA" SEIP DEAD

"Grandma" Seip, one of the pioneers of Atchison and probably it most generally beloved woman, died at 6 o'clock this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Thomas F. Denieffe, 814 Kansas Avenue. She did not realize that she had entered upon the New Year, having been in a comatose condition since Monday. There was no pain; she simply entered upon a sleep from which there was no awakening. Devoted relatives were constantly at her bedside, watching for a change that might have spared her to them a short time longer, but it did not come. She went into a decline in the fall, and had been bedfast six weeks. Her death was due to a general breaking down, which was but natural in view of her 82 years.

Mrs. Seip was born, January 13,1825, in Reading, Pa., her maiden name having been Keturah Oliver Norton. On March 26,1846 she was married to Thomas Louis Seip.

Mr. and Mrs. Seip came west as far as Sterling, Ill., in the spring of 1855, remaining there until October 1858, when they came to Atchison. There was but one street of any consequence here at that time, and Mrs. Seip's reminiscences of the early days have always been most interesting. She was possessed of an excellent memory, and she lived here in the stormy days preceding the Civil War, she was possessed of much knowledge of historic value.

Her was a contractor and builder and was a candidate for mayor in 1862, but was defeated by George H. Fairchild, whose majority was only one or two votes.

For nearly a year after locating in Atchison, Mr. and Mrs. Seip lived in a small stone house at Fifth and Q streets, removing from that to their home on South Fourth Street, where they lived 21 years. The house was considered quite pretentious in those days.

When Mrs. Seip first came here, it was necessary to cross fields and ravines in going from one house to another. It was on her first New Year's Day in Atchison that she met Mrs. John J. Ingalls, then Miss Cheesebrough, and her sister, who was afterwards Mrs. Hughes. She met them at the home of Rev. Spencer, the Presbyterian minister, and they became life long friends. The Cheesebroughs came to Atchison a few months before the Seips. Among other women she met at about the same time were Mrs. Giles Buck and Mrs. J. W. Allen. They were then in their girlhood. Mrs. Charles Holbert, Mrs. John Price, and the Dicksons were here at that time, and were among her early friends.

Thomas L. Seip, her husband, died in1892. They were parents of eleven children and adopted two others. Among their children eight are still living, as follows: James Seip, Seattle; Chas. N. Seip, Atchison; John and William Seip, Kansas City; Mrs. George R. Anderson, Northampton, Mass.; Mrs. T. E. Denieffe, Atchison; Silas Seip, Birmingham, Ala.; and Luther Seip, of St. Joe. All visited Mrs. Seip on Christmas, excepting Mrs. Anderson, Silas, and James, who live in remote sections; most of the others have been here ever since. After the Christmas reunion, which included the families of the children, Mrs. Seip was reconciled to the end, as she had seen them all again.

As a testimony to the remarkable popularity of "Grandma" Seip as she was lovingly called by everybody, it may be stated that ever since her illness began her room has been filled with flowers; so many remembered her at Christmas time in this way. A case of extraordinary devotion was that of her daughter, Mrs. Denieffe, with whom she had made her home eleven years. Especially since her illness began she had been scarcely out of Mrs. Denieffe's thoughts.

In her death the Presbyterian Church lost another of its faithful members; so faithful that she was a true mother of the church. She united with the faith at her old home in Pennsylvania when she was 15 years old.

Dr. Boyle will conduct the services, which will occur from the Presbyterian Church at 2:30 p.m. Friday. The casket will not be opened in the church, but friends may take a last look upon the kindly face tomorrow or Friday at the Denieffe's home. The pallbearers will be Arthur and Edward Lukens, W.A. Blatry, George Campbell, Carrol Auid and J.E. Rack.

CHARLEY SEIP DROPPED DEAD

Charles N. Seip, age 66 years, dropped dead at his home, 617 North Third Street, at nine o'clock yesterday evening, following his return from the men's banquet at the Presbyterian Church. Death was most sudden and came without warning. Heart disease was the cause.

For more than 55 years Charley Seip had lived in Atchison. He was joint agent of the express companies here many years, but at the time of his death he was revising clerk in the Missouri Pacific freight office. He had been in the employ of the Missouri Pacific or more than twenty years.

At the Presbyterian banquet last night, Mr. Seip seemed in unusually fine spirits, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the occasion. However, on the was home with his son, Charlie Seip, Jr., he had to stop two or three times to regain his breath, and it was not more than ten minutes after he entered the house before he was dead. He had just taken off his overcoat and was reaching for a light switch to turn on some upstairs lights when he fell back on the floor, and died without speaking a word. Dr. Charles Johnson was called, and believes Mr. Seip was dead when he struck the floor. About four years ago he had a light stroke of paralysis, but entirely recovered.

Charley Seip was a genial, kindly man, a good citizen, and made many friends. He will be greatly missed from the Missouri Pacific offices, and employees of the offices there will act as pallbearers.

Schuri, Gotleib Obituary

Atchison Daily Globe 11 Aug. 1887

Gotleib Schuri, the expressman, who had his left thigh broken about three weeks ago by a Missouri Pacific switch engine, died at 5:30 o'clock this morning. Dr. Bogle, who was attending him, reports that his condition had improved constantly since the accident, and that only yesterday he had refused him permission to get up out of bed, fearing that he might again break the thigh, as the time since the accident was not sufficient for the limb to regain sufficient strength to hold up the body. He was also in good spirits, and his pulse was in a very healthy condition. At 5 o'clock this morning, however, when a member of the family arose to give him a capsule, he could not awaken him. Thinking the circumstance strange, they sent for Dr. Bogle, but before he arrived he was dead. He had been in no pain for two weeks, and his physician is at loss to know the cause of his death, unless it was that he was overtaxed by the heat yesterday, and suffered a collapse. He was 58 years of age, and the father of Fred Schuri, who died several years ago.

However, from early in January, this year, until about a week ago, he was able to be up and about the Thaden home the greater part of the time. The last week of his life he was bedfast. He quietly passed away last night at ten o'clock.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Thaden and Miss Mary E. Scheibe, of Parsons; two sons, Gus Scheibe, of Topeka and the Rev. C. E. Scheibe, a Lutheran pastor at Clinton, La; nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
