Fred W. Seibert

I’m the namesake of my grandfather Frederick William Seibert, of Jeffersonville, Sullivan County, New York. By all accounts, including my own experience, he was as flinty a man of German descent as he looks in this picture (an ink blotter/political advertisement for an election he ultimately didn’t win). He was never nice to me, and it doesn’t seem he was nice to my Dad (the nicest man alive), but my father never had anything but words of love for him.
