Mrs. Seymour is a native of St. Michaels in Talbot County, who after a career in nursing and nursing education turned to researching family roots and local history. She has been curator and is currently co-curator of the St. Michaels Museum at St. Mary’s Square, past-president of the Upper Shore Genealogical Society and longtime volunteer in the Maryland Room of the Talbot County Free Library.
For the past 10 years, Mrs. Seymour has researched and conducted historical tours of the Olivet Cemetery in St. Michaels. During the past year, and as we begin to recognize the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, she has researched local graves of Civil War veterans in all 3 St. Michaels cemeteries – St. Luke’s United Methodist Church (Olivet), Union United Methodist Church and Christ Episcopal Church. She has learned interesting stories about many of these 56 Union soldiers and one (possible) Confederate soldier buried there.
