+He was a carriagemaker by trade, established at Burlington, Vt., until 1829. He
+became a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Troy Conference, from 1819;
+stationed at Charlotte, Vt., 1829-30; Monkton Circuit, Vt., 1830-31; Pittsburgh,
+N.Y., 1831-33; Keeseville, N.Y., 1833-35; Schenectady, 1835-36; Troy, 1836-38;
+Albany, 1838-40; Presiding Elder, Poultney District, 1840-44; Pittsburgh
+District, 1844-45; Jonesville, 1845-47; West Troy, 1847-49; Chatham, 1849-50;
+Amsterdam, 1850-52; Presiding Elder, Albany District, 1852-56, and of Saratoga
+District, 1856-60; Green Island, 1860-62; Castleton, 1862-64; and Williamstown,
+Mass., 1864-67.   Thereafter, he resided in Troy until his death.
+Rev. Mr. Seymour was called the Father of Methodism in the region he served.
+Converted at seventeen, and a local preacher at the age of twenty, for thirty-
+seven years he never lost two weeks for any cause from the immediate work of his
+holy calling. Of his wife, who survived to celebrate her Golden Wedding with
+him, it was written: "She was evidently designed by the Master for an itinerant
+Methodist minister's wife in the times that tried men's souls. She was never
+tired when others were weary. She was never despondent when others needed
+cheering. She was never ill when those she loved needed nursing. At the Golden
+Wedding in 1870 her face was as free from wrinkles and the marks of care as when
+fifty years before she blushed as a bride. Her hands performed some kindly
+office of affection for her companion only a few hours before they grew cold.
+Her stormy life came to such a triumphant, peaceful, and beautiful issue, that
+her son, General Truman Seymour, when requested to wear crape as an emblem of
+mourning, refused, saying that a rose would best represent his feelings and the
+occasion."
