Kin: The Seely Side

Arta McLean Seely & Alfaretta Neff Seely

“Artie”

“Alfie”

After their marriage in 1899, Arta McLean Seely built the home that now stands at 3408 Oakwood Street, on the East Mill Creek property Alfaretta Neff had inherited from her father, Franklin Neff, the East Mill Creek miller. Four of their five children were born there, including my Mammy. Grant, their youngest, was born after the family moved to a ranch in Rosette. Later, they removed to Brigham City, where “Artie” and “Alfie” remained the rest of their days.
