of the most able members of his profession in South Texas.

of the services at the grave. The floral tributes were many and beautiful and the funeral was largely attended.

brothers, E. B. and S. K. SEYMOUR of Columbus, and numerous other relatives and hosts of warm friends.

Death of Dr. F. B. Seymour.

Dr. F. B. SEYMOUR, well-known physician of this city, died on last Saturday, after an illness of several months.

The decedent was in his forty-fifth year, a native of Colorado county, a son of an old and highly esteemed 
pioneer settler in that section, but had been a resident of Bee county for the past twenty years, the greater part 
of which was spent in Beeville. He followed his vocation here with considerable success, being known as one 
of the best practitioners in the profession. A man of dignified bearing and genial disposition, he naturally attracted 
friends and his untimely end is universally regretted. Of splendid physique, he enjoyed fine health up to three 
months ago, when he was attacked with a malady of the heart which baffled the skill of the best physicians in the 
southwest. Realizing the inevitable he met his end bravely and with resignation. His closing days were solaced by 
many kind ministrations and sincere inquiries on the part of interested friends. He is survived by a wife and five 
children, the eldest of whom has recently graduated from a college of pharmacy and will assume upon his young 
shoulders the responsibilities from which his father was so unfortunately called.

The funeral occurred on Sunday morning, being largely attended and conducted under the direction of the 
Masonic fraternity.
