The deceased, who was in his 77th year, had been failing for several years, but he got up as usual on Monday and dressed and then collapsed. Mr. Seager, who was a native of Maidstone, was apprenticed to the engineering at Sittingbourne and afterwards went to an engineering firm at Greenwich. Just over 40 years ago he came to Faversham and started the foundry at the Brenta, which he had carried on very successfully ever since. He was a highly skilled engineer and always a very hard worker. He took no part in public affairs.'[2]
