SEABOURNE, George Washington b: 26 JUN 1856 in Washington County, MO d: 18 AUG 1919 in Washington County, MO George W. Seburn of Belgrade, Washington Co., MO. & G. M. E. Tullock of Washington Co., MO.; married on 1 January 1879 by John Thomas at the bride's parents, Washington Co., Mo.; witnesses: Creed Fortune, Herry Acres
George Washington and Martha Ellen (Tullock) Seabourne's marriage record is found in the Washington County Marriage Records, Book C, p. 353.
In August, 1919, George Washington Seabourne sold a mule to someone in Belgrade, MO, with the promise to deliver that mule. He tied the mule to the wagon seat and climbed into the wagon. Nobody can know what his thoughts were on that day, but we can hope they were happy thoughts. Perhaps of his wife and children or of additional work that needed to be done around the farm, when he returned.
As George was going up the hill near his farm, the mule spooked at something and George was flung to the ground, hitting his head hard enough to kill him.
George and his wife, Martha are buried in the Seabourne/Tullock Cemetery, near Belgrade, Missouri.
My note: This was told to me by Leo Dickie.
