Heart Disease Found to Have Taken Off Fairport Man

Myron KELLOGG, 55 years old, of Fairport, died yesterday afternoon in a dentist's chair. An Autopsy last night showed that a form of heart disease had brought about his death. Coroner T. A. KILLIP gave a certificate.

Mr. KELLOGG was in the office of Arthur W. KOHLER, a dentist at No. 66 Clinton avenue north. Dr. KOHLER had started to clean Mr. KELLOGG'S gums, preparatory to treating them, when the man fell backward in the chair and died. Dr. KOHLER summoned a physician, but death had taken place.

Coroner KILLIP was notified and caused the remains to be removed to an undertaking establishment, where an autopsy was held. No ether was used by Dr. KOHLER, as the work being done did not require an anaesthetic.

FREDERICK C. SEITZ, REMOVED BY DEATH

For Many Years a Leading Building Contractor

(PHOTO)

At his home at No. 351 Hudson avenue, Frederick C. SEITZ, one of the best known German-American residents of this city, died yesterday morning of an illness that had lasted several months. Death came unexpectedly, although his failing health had been evident for a long time.

Mr. SEITZ was born at Heiningen, Wurtemburg, Germany, sixty-eight years ago. He came to this country in 1858 and immediately took up his residence in Rochester. At the opening of the Civil war he enlisted in Company G. Thirteenth New York Infantry, and later was transferred to Company K. Third New York Cavalry. He served throughout the war, and at its close returned to Rochester and started in business as a carpenter. The reputation he gained for honesty and efficiency brought its reward, and in 1881 he started a contracting business and was thus engaged up to his death.

Besides attending to his personal interests, Mr. SEITZ was active in advancing the business that furnished him with a livelihood. He was one of the organizers of the builders' Exchange, of which at different times he was vice- president and a director. He was also a director of the American Brewing Company and the Rochester German Insurance Company. Mr. SEITZ was a member of the First German Lutheran Zion Church and for twenty-five years prior to his death was president of the congregation board of trustees.

In politics Mr. SEITZ was also active, although seldom holding public office. At one time he was a member of the Park Board and he served one term on the Executive Board. He was prominent in Masonry and other orders. He had served as master of the Germania Lodge of Perfection.

Mr. SEITZ leaves his wife, Magdalina MELER(?) SEITZ; four sons, Charles (F or E,.)William C., Frederick A., and Arthur G. SEITZ; three daughters, Miss Louisa C. SEITZ, Mrs. Bertha M. SNYDER and Miss Emelie K. SEITZ, and nine grandchildren.
-The funeral will take place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the house.

FRIEND CALLS HIM SCAMP

The most cheerful letter of all was signed by F. R. WILEY, a merchant of Freeville. HINTON had applied to WILEY for a letter of recommendation, and got it. The recommendation, however, was not found among his effects. The letter from WILEY read:
"Your letter came this morning, and I hasten to comply with your request. You will find the recommendation enclosed. It was rather difficult to say much for such a scamp, but did the best I could. Hope you will get the position you are seeking and like it after you have secured it. The amount is $4.88."

HINTON has a postal card addressed to him by a girl friend and mailed at Lakemont, Yates county. The postmark mark was dated October, 1908. HINTON claims he attended Starkey Seminary at Lakemont that year. He had cards that had been mailed at Watkins and Odessa. The police suspect the man may be wanted at some of these places. They say it is apparent he has been in custody before.
