Seymour, Henry H., Buffalo, was born at Mount Morris, N. Y., October 27, 1849, and prepared for college at Mount
Morris Academy. After one year in Dartmouth College he entered Cornell University, from which institution he was
graduated in 1871, with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He also received one of the Goidwin Smith prizes, then
deemed the highest rewards in the gift of the university. After a season of study and travel abroad he returned
to Mount Morris and began the study of law in the office of his uncles, McNeil Seymour and George Hastings, two
of the most widely known lawyers in the Genesee Valley, and was admitted to the bar in 1874. He then went abroad
again and spent over a year in further study and sight-seeing. In 1876 he returned to this country and opened an
office in Buffalo, where he has since practiced his profession.
