The last time Mrs. Betty Seago spoke with her son, she learned that he was going to Manatee County to visit his children. On October 11th, she received a telephone call from a social worker inform- ing her that her son had died.

Mrs. Seago said this is the second time in less than 2 years that she has lost a fam- ily member to the disease. Her husband, the late Jerry Seago, died 1 year and 7 months ago. Her mother-in- law and brother-in-law have also fallen victim to the ill-
Leto High School.
Mrs. Seago said he
worked at a lumber company and a roofing company be- fore he became disabled. He was 25 when he was diag- nosed with congestive heart failure, she said.

In addition to his mother, Mr. Seago is survived by a 13-year-old son and a 10- year-old daughter, 3 broth- ers, 1 sister, and other family members and friends.
Funeral services for Mr. Seago were incomplete at press time. Harmon’s Fu- neral Home is in charge of handling arrangements.
