Excerpt from The Seaton Family: With Genealogy and Biographies

The work of preparing this book has been done almost entirely in the idle moments. Rainy days, and other odd spells of a busy man's working hours in his grain office, when there was no other regular work unperformed.

The typewriter stood on its desk, capable, ready and convenient, and was made use of as opportunity offered, the work being dropped, even in the middle of a word, to wait upon a present, prospective customer, and not approached again sometimes for days at a time when business was flourishing.

This work has been the fad or pastime of the writer, for all ambitious business men must have some relaxation from their regular work and worry. It has also been a work of love in which this Scripture injunction has been heeded.
