Francis Henry Massey Seaton
passed away suddenly Jan. 25.

Born in Wayne County,
Detroit in 1914, Wayne was the
second eldest of six children,
Eight years later his family
moved to Ootsa Lake, B.C. and
then to Smithers before, on the
death of his father, his mother
Emilie moved them to Terrace.

(Seaton Station, between
Hazelton and Smithers, is nam-
ed after his father, Henry.)

Francis served as an officer in
the Royal Canadian Air Force
in Europe during World War II,
as navigator on a Lancaster
bomber, On one occasion, he
was pulled out of a mission he
was suppesed to go on and the
plane and crew sever returned.

After the war, he volunteered
for a posting to Germany to
help in the clean-up before
returning te Terrace. Here, he
worked for the L.H.K. sawmill
then began his own contracting
company, logging the Kitimat
and Nass Valleys and towards
Prince Rupert.

Francis also had a trapline
which he bought in 1946 from
Matt Allard. Matt had arrived
in the Terrace area in 1905,
homesteading at Kalum Lake
on what is now known as the
Hart farm and had in 1922 pur-
chased the Beaver Flats trapline
— it had been the hunting
ground for the Native family
the Kennedys for many years.

A logging accident in 1956
landed him in the old Terrace
hospital and it was there he met
Erna, The couple were married
Nov. 20 of that year by Father
Mohan in the Catholic church.
They had five children.

After a heart attack in 1976,
Francis retired to pursue his
love of the great outdoors —
hunting, fishing and gardening
— and to watch his grand-
children grow.

Francis passed away suddenly
while out on his trapline with
sons Robert and Kevin.

That trapline had been a big
part of Francis’ life and he
would go out every winter,

snowshoeing the trails and spen-.

ding as much as six weeks out
there at a stretch.

Francis Seaton

eulogy, his father’s life on retur-

ning to Terrace after the war -

seems a different world to peo-
ple today.

In those days, Francis would

walk past farms and giant
spruce and cedar to get lo the
back of the. Horseshoe area
where the ponds and marshes
were hame to huge flocks of
geese and ducks,
_ He'd also walk down the
railway tracks to where they
cross the Kalum to fish for spr-
ing salmon, most of which were
lost because the gear then
couldn’t hold the huge fish.

And he’d row his wooden
boat the Iength of Kalum Lake.
On reaching the Beaver River,
the trip upriver was made by
poling the boat for mile after
mile and dragging it around the
log jams.

That’s where he had a cabin
— dirt floor and cedar shake
bunk beds — in the midst of a
stand of virgin timber long since
vanished.

It used to be a full day’s
journey then, but today his
son’s can make the same trip by
jet boat in half an hour, Kevin
wondered if his father’s way
wasn’t a lot better.

Francis’
fond memories and feel both
pride and honour at the name
he left to them,

A memorial ceremony was
held at the Sacred Heart Parish

with Father Al Noonan of-

ficiating. Kevin delivered the

eulogy, Ernie Webb read a
