Notes:
Birth:
[Prince Edward County or Ontario County?]
Occupation:
"At the age of twenty-five he united with the Methodist Church under the pastorate of the Rev. A. B. DeMille, who was brought up at Northport, Prince Edward County. He at once entered into Sabbath school work, and though asked by his pastor to take work in the pulpit, he declined, feeling that he was better fitted for teaching the young than preaching to the elderly or middle aged. Sometime after commencing Sabbath school work, upon the resignation of the superintendant, he was chosen for that office, and upon the death of his father in 1870 he was elected to fill the vacancy, both on the church trustee board and the circuit quarterly official board, which offices he held until 1892, when he decided to move to Manitoba."
Fraternal Society membership:
"In 1874 he united with Peaceful Dove Lodge, I.O.O.F., Cannington, but on account of the distance from his home he finally dropped out of the fraternity".
Fraternal Society membership:
"After settling in Brandon, being imbued with the spirit of Oddfellowship, he affiliated with Brandon City Lodge, whose members showed him the kindest consideration in a very short time, conferring upon him the highest honors at the disposal of a subordinate lodge by making him their representative to the Grand Lodge."
Occupation:
"Shortly after settling at Brandon he was recommended by Hon. Clifford Sifton, who was the Attorney-General for Manitoba, to a position on the asylum staff, which he held for nearly seven years. but in the heat of political feeling which succeeded the defeat of the Greenway Government he, with a number of others, were dropped from the staff. Some three years later Dr. S. W. McInnis, M.P.P., who believed that something more than mere political partizanship was needed, recommended his reappointment, and he was again placed upon the staff."Seth married Sarah Ellenor CORNER in 1866.
