A REAL REFORMER.

GEORGE G. SEATON, a farmer and pioneer settler of Rockford, Illinois, was a very devout man, and smoking and drinking he held to be sins that could not be condoned by any religion. He had a deep-rooted horror of the cigarette habit, and never lost an opportunity to wage war against it, either in public or among his friends and relatives.

He left an estate worth $50,000. The principal legatees under his will were his daughters, Mrs. Alice Crunke, and his son, Arthur Seaton. To four nieces and six nephews he bequeathed sums. ranging from one hundred to two hundred dollars each, with the proviso that if any of the legatees should use to excess either cigarettes or alcoholic liquors, that portion which was to go to them should go to some charitable institution, to be determined by the executors. All of the heirs are said to have been of the same opinion as Mr. Seaton, on this question.

CHAPTER LIII.

ROBERT SEATON.

ROBERT SEATON was born in Scotland or Ireland, probably the latter, about 1775 or 1780. He married Jane McCabe, of County Down, Ireland, whose ancestors were among the early settlers of the latter country, coming from Scotland. In 1806 Robert and his family set sail for America, but, sad to relate, he died on the voyage, and was doubtless buried in the hungry ocean that has so often bereaved those who have trusted their lives upon its restless bosom, hoping to better their condition by leaving the Old World for a home in the New.

Mrs. Seaton settled in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, and six months after the death of her husband, gave birth to a son, to whom she gave his father's name, Robert Seaton. Some time after locating at the above place, Jane Seaton was married to Robert Crawford, an Irish school teacher. She is said to have been a Protestant, a seceder, now called United Presbyterians, in faith.

Robert Crawford died in 1843, aged seventy-six years, and his wife Jane in 1841, aged seventy-four years. Both died and were buried in Fayette county, in western Pennsylvania.

The children of Robert and Jane (McCabe) Seaton, as far as known to us, were: 1. Matthew; 2. James; and 3. the Robert 2d whose birth is noted above.

THE CHILDREN OF ROBERT AND JANE (MC CABE) SEATON. MATTHEW and JAMES SEATON, sons of the above worthy people, are among the altogether too large number of those whose life history remains to be traced, although every means at hand, or within the grasp of our mind, has been employed to do these persons, and all others, full justice.
