Biographical History
The Sons of Temperance is an international organization dedicated to temperance and the teetotalism lifestyle. Purported to have been founded in the 1840s, the society is no longer influential in the United States, though there are active chapters abroad in countries such as England.
Little is known about James Seddy, other than he was a member of Sons of Temperance and for some reason honorably withdrew from the Western New York division of the society.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Sons of Temperance, Waddington, N.Y. Collection consists solely of memorabilia. It contains a certificate belonging to James Seddy which appears to serve as a withdrawal card. The collection also contains a bound volume used by the Waddington N.Y. division of the society; it contains records of dues taken in cash and for regular or initiation purposes.
