Came of Sturdy German Stock and Had Many Relatives West and Southwest of Here. Jacob Seitter, aged 67 years. was found dead in his barnyard near Plymouth, Carroll County, Thursday morning by members of his family, says the Utica Herald. It is supposed the old gentleman had risen early and gone out on a walk. He had been complaining for some time, but his death was not looked for, and heart failure evidently was the cause. Jacob Seitter was born in Wurttemberg, Germany, and came to America in 1853. He had been on the farm where he died for nearly 35 years, and was known all over two counties. He leaves a widow and five children, Mrs. Gertie Timbrook of Braymer, Mrs. Fannie Price of Avalon, Mrs. Lily Griffith of Iowa, Joseph and Laura at home. Mr. Seitter came to sturdy German parentage. Eight brothers and sisters survive him, one of whom Mrs. Catherine Bonderer, lives in Utica.
