Williams, of Welch. He later attended an academy at Dunnsville,

Hundley, present head of Lynchburg College. From Hundley's
Academy Mr. Seaman went to Richmond College, thence to

Gospel in the Disciples Church. After graduation and ordination
he served the churches in Martinsville, Va., Danville, Va., Charlottesville,
