  Obituary- Seele, Charles Charles Seele Dies Suddenly Charles Seele, for many years a member of the Law township board, died unexpectedly early Monday morning (feb. 20) at his home six miles southwest of St. Marys. He had been ill only a few hours and was retiring shortly after midnight, following a reunion of the family, when he fell dead, the victim of a heart seizure. The popular Old Timer was 77 years old. The esteem in which he was held was attested repeatedly by his election of contests, to the office he held when the final summons came, clerk of his township board. Charles F. Seele was a native of Saxony, Germany, being born there Nov. 20, 1872, the son of August Seele and Caroline Bolgess. He emigrated with his parents to Kansas in 1887, living for awhile near Lawrence, then in Jackson county, and for 45 years in Wabaunsee county. He was married April 18, 1893, at Lawrence to Minnie Supp, who passed away October 10, 1947. Together they were able to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary in 1943. To this union ten children were born all living except William who died at the age of twelve in 1928. The fine old citizen is survived by nine children, sixteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. The children surviving are August Seele, St. Marys; Herman of Denver; Mrs. Minnie Rasch of Rossville; John Seele, Rossville; Mrs. Lillie Hastings, Emporia; Mrs. Lena Lippencott, Wamego, Carl Seele, Belvue, Mrs. Laura Lohmann, Topeka and Mrs. Alice Durkee, Topeka. Brothers surviving are Richard Seele, Belvue; Ginder Seele of Lawrence; Herman, Fred and Walter, all of Rockford, Illinois; and two sisters, Mrs. Bertha Lly, Michigan City, Mich., and Mrs. Emma Wells of Topeka.
