Seely Cabin. Both Mr. & Mrs Seely were instrumental in obtaining the Kirby estate as a camp for the Clevlend Girl Scouts. Warner Seely headed the campaign committee to raise funds for the purchase. Emma Seely was the third commissioner of the council. The Seelys are buried at Cleveland's Lake View Cemetery near the top of Daffodil Hill
Part 2. Off-site memorials

"Oppmann" was Clara Neal's maiden name. The gravesite consists of the single rectangular slab with names of the family on all four sides, and the single large pillar at on the downslope end. It was raining at the time the picture on the left was taken. The carved "Neal /Oppmann" on the pillar looks almost too dark to read. The close up above shows the same panel. |
