RE: Who is this person?
Is this the Seward home?

RE: Who is this person?
Kudos, Angela! That is the birthplace of William Seward in Florida, New York.
Way back on August 6, 2012, Linda Anderson made a post which included the following information:
(08-06-2012, 09:43 AM)Linda Anderson Wrote: Students from the Florida Union School District in Florida, NY recently performed a skit of Lewis Powell's attack on William Seward. There is a great picture included in the article from the June 2012 edition of The Florida Focus.
"William Henry Seward, arguably Florida’s most famous son, was born on May 16, 1801 in a house that now exists as a dilapidated barm at the rear of 35 North Main Street in Florida, NY. On May 19, 2012 the Florida Historical Society hosted their 21st Annual William Henry Seward Birthday Celebration, complete with cake, though without 211 candles...
The article Linda referred to is still online here.
Then, recently I saw this article in The Warwick Advertiser.
I thought some folks might remember it from Linda's original post because previously I think a lot of us had never heard of Florida, New York.
Angela, I cannot think of an appropriate prize so I will just send all best wishes to you for a wonderful trip to the USA!

RE: Who is this person?
Whoa, I can't believe this was right - Florida had me searching and I ended up with Seward. But I thought this would have been much more fancier...
Thank you for the prize, Roger! That is really all I need right now! I'm on my way and am counting the hours...!
