CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. Over 73 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period.

CastleGarden.org is an invaluable resource for educators, scholars, students, family historians, and the interested public. Currently the site hosts 10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original ship manifests.

Stuart Advocate

L A Seger of Atkinson and Mrs Mary Mueller of Fremont were quietly married at O’Neill, Tuesday, March 30,1909. Mr Seger is an old resident here and prominently known, while the bride is a stranger to this neighborhood, but we trust will receive a hearty welcome among her neighbors.

Mary Mueller Dies

The Atkinson Graphic
15 Dec 1911
A SAD EVENT
Monday evening at the supper hour, Mrs. Leopold Seger who with her husband lived three miles northwest of town, committed suicide. The hour was 6:10 and the family had set down to the table and were eating the evening meal when Mrs. Seger went into the bedroom and seizing a revolver applied its muzzle to her right breast and fired. The family hurried from the table to the room and found her dead. It was thought that death was instantaneous. The Coroner was summoned, and Dr. Wilson and Deputy Sheriff Bartell came up from O’Neil and empaneled a jury which sat at 11 o’clock the same evening. The jurors were John Hayes, E.J. Kilmarry, Chas. Wilkinson, Herb Bitney, John Bauman and Al Robertson. After careful investigation the verdict was that Mrs. Seger had met death by gun shot at her own hand, intentionally.

Mr. and Mrs. Seger had been married about two and one-half years. She was mother of five children, three by her former husband and two by her marriage with Mr. Seger.

We cannot understand just why such an occurrence could happen except that the woman was temporarily insane, as no mother would wish to go and leave her little children motherless in the world.
