George Frederick SEYMOUR Sr & Marie Magdalena WALENCIAK
Husband: George Frederick SEYMOUR Sr, (son of Harrison Lafayette SEYMOUR), b. 26 Oct 1890, Kansas City KS, d. 19 Oct 1963, Pawnee Oklahoma
George and Erna obviously met in the neighborhood in Wyandotte County on Pacific Street where they are literally one house apart from one another with George as a 20 year in 1910 with his mother and Dad and Erna is a 14 year old with her parents. . In 1920 Erna and George as a married couple are in the house next door to George's parents Harrison and Elizabeth. living in Wyandotte County at 1620 the Terrace. By this time they are living with their children Helen 7 years old and George 4 years and 11 months. By the time of the 1930 , George and Erna are living on South 15th Street and on the census Helen M is 16 and for some reason on the census by my father's name it says George F. 14, and then son! with an explanation point. My father was one of the few male grandchildren for his grandpa Seymour and that may have been a little joke., Soon after the census the marriage was over as my father says his father and Erna had their last fight when he was 14 years old and his father left to go live with his father. My father stayed less than a month with his mother and went to live with his grandpa and his father. George's second and last wife was a woman named Marie Wallenchec. and I have no idea when or where he married her. I only know that by the time I was around they had moved to Pawnee Oklahoma where they ran a farm. I recall my grandfather as a gentle quiet man and among my few memories of him is a ride on this tractor and that he used to take me into town for these pole candies with stripes that I loved. My father was definitely close to his father . George died of a stroke and he lived for 11 days before he succumbed. He was a stenotyper at a newspaper according to the 1920 Census. He is buried with his second wife Marie. in Pawnee Oklahoma. Oddly the headstone says George E Seymour which is incorrect it should read George F Seymour. The cemetery is Highland Cemetery in Pawnee Oklahoma. Mary is also buried there next to him.
