MAJOR FREDERICK A.<sup>8</sup> SEYMOUR (1819-1903) spent his younger manhood in
Ohio, where his family had settled. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr.
Seymour enlisted in the Seventh Ohio Vols., and was at once made Captain of his
company, later receiving his com-mission as Major for gallant conduct on the
field of battle. At the battle of Antietam, the command of his regiment devolved
for a time on Major Seymour, all his superior officers being either killed or
wounded. From the close of the war until 1869, Major Seymour lived in Ohio,
returning then to West Hartford. There he served several years as selectman, was
Representative from West Hartford in the General Assembly of 1871, and was for a
time a deputy sheriff. He was a member of Wyllys Lodge, A.F. and A.M., and of
Robert O. Tyler Post, G.A.R.
