Henry Seymour Dies

Henry Seymour, of No. 42 West Forty-sixth Street, died suddenly on Tuesday, at Sourdnahunk Camp, in Maine, where he had gone ten days before on a fishing trip. His health had not been good for several months. Mr. Seymour was born in Batavia, N.Y., but had resided in New York city nearly all his life. He was for many years an active member of the Produce Exchange, and for the last twenty years had been in charge of the insurance department of the New York Life Insurance and Trust Company. He was a member of the Manhattan Chess Club and the Society of Colonial Wars. He was unmarried. [1906?]

Like the Adirondacks, a Little

We visited Kennebunkport, Maine this summer. It was, like the Adirondack Park, a stunning place to have a home by the water. Of course, there it was the ocean rather than a lake. There it was - Maine. Different, but similar. There is the same calming influence of the water and the boats, only the boats are bigger, like former President Bush's boat, Fidelity. Walker's Point is there, summer home to the Bush family - 12 acres of Maine land jutting out into the ocean, perched upon a rock. It is, like the Adirondacks, very rustic - ocean waves, rocky shores, fresh air, casual and small-town. If you like the Adirondacks, there is a lot about Maine that you will appreciate. Here, some boats are anchored in the bay near the town of Kennebunkport. It's a gorgeous place to visit.
