- Arthur Seeger Died
Staff Sergeant Arthur H. Seeger Jr., member of the 971st signal service, the Alaska communication system, Seattle, son of A. R. Seeger of Edwall died Friday July 30 according to word received by his parents from the war department. [His father was a depot agent for the Northern Pacific Railway and moved around a little bit serving also in Hillyard, Rock Island, Bluestem and Davenport. His father was also a telegrapher at the time of his marriage. It is easy to imagine how the younger Seeger would have delivered messages or packages for the railroad as he was growing up so a natural fit for the signal corps.]
