“ Seamans since his boyhood said of him: “In his death the country lost a man whose life was a happy illustration of the honors and rewards of business fidelity and industry, when combined with high principle and unswerving integrity. As a business man his character was unclouded and unimpeachable He had excellent judgment, and adhered with stanch consistency to sound, conservative, and unquestionable business methods. His name was known among the highest circles of the business world as that of a man who could be trusted and with whom it was a satisfaction to transact business. ”

“ Seamans made the Remington typewriter sales organization the finest selling force in the world; the revivified sales department made the Remington typewriter business the largest typewriter business in the world, with offices in every great city and a name synonymous with quality, durability, and service. In 1886 the firm of Wyckoff, Seamans and Benedict purchased the right, title, interest, and franchises, tools and machinery, of the Remington typewriter and formed a corporation under the name of the Remington Typewriter Company, of which he was made treasurer and general manager. ”

“ Seamans that no one could come in contact with him without feeling better for the meeting and acquiring a more kindly disposition toward his fellow men and the world at large. No man could be with him long without becoming his friend. ”
