Calvin W. SEAVER, boots and shoes [Neenah, Winnebago County, Wisconsin], was 
born 04 October 1818 in Chautauqua County, New York. He commenced clerking 
in Chautauqua County, New York, and from there went to Dunkirk [Chautauqua 
County], New York, and to Bertrand [Berrien County], Michigan, and Rochester 
[Monroe County], New York, and other places. He finally located in business 
for himself in Findlay [Hancock County], Ohio, keeping a general store, where 
he remained about two years.

Mr. SEAVER then moved to Wisconsin, locating in Rock County, remaining only 
about one year [ten years?], then opened a hardware store in Janesville, 
Wisconsin. [Since Janesville is also in Rock County, Wisconsin, then he 
lived in Rock County more than one year.] Ten years later he moved to Fond 
du Lac [Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin], engaged in the boot and shoe 
business, and was there twelve years, with the exception of one year spent in 
Chicago [Cook County, Illinois]. In 1880 Mr. SEAVER came to Neenah 
[Winnebago County, Wisconsin], and for a time he also had a store in Menasha 
[just north of Neenah], but finally closed the Menasha store.

In Genesee County, New York, he [Calvin W. SEAVER] was married to Miss 
Catherine TAYLOR, of Genesee County [New York]. In August 1880 she 
[Catherine (TAYLOR) SEAVER] died, leaving three children [issue of Calvin W. 
and Catherine (TAYLOR) SEAVER]: (1) William W.; (2) Kate, now Mr. George 
H. PATTY, of Fond du Lac [Wisconsin]; and (3) Alice, widow of F. CLARK, of 
Fond du Lac.
