John H. Seip 



Mr. Seip was born in New York City on January 13, 1858. 

 Here he attended school and later worked at various posi- 

 tions until he came to the Museum on May 7, 1896. He 

 was placed on the Attendants' staff, and in time became a 

 Sergeant. In his strict performance of all duties entrusted to 

 him he has shown himself to be one of the Museum's most 

 reliable employees ; and his genial disposition has won him a 

 wide circle of friends. As 3'oung as he was twenty years ago, 

 he is never at a loss for a ga}^ word or a good-natured jest.
