**HENRY ISRAEL<sup>7</sup> SEYMOUR** (1824-1870) was a chair manufacturer, of
Troy. Endowed with a mind of extraordinary vigor, he strengthened and enriched
it by extensive reading and earnest thought, and few of his fellow-citizens were
able to cope with him in discussions of questions of the day. He was not without
his prejudices; but he also possessed in a large degree the qualities of a warm
and generous friendship, and those who knew him intimately were strongly
attached to him. He was a good friend to the poor, and gave with no grudging
hand to those who required assistance. He never forgot a friendly act, and in
after years more than repaid some of those who aided him in his early career. As
a business man, he was not merely successful; he gave employment to hundreds of
persons, and contributed largely to the prosperity of Troy.
