Gladys Seaton
HASTINGS, Neb. - Gladys D. Seaton, a member of a media family that operates newspapers and television stations in five states, has died. She was 88.
Mrs. Seaton, a longtime businesswoman and civic leader, died Tuesday at Good Samaritan Village.
Her son, Don, is publisher of the Hastings Tribune. Her nephew, David Seaton, is publisher of The Courier.
Mrs. Seaton moved to Hastings in 1937, when her husband, the late Fred A. Seaton, bought the Tribune with his father and brother and became its publisher. The family eventually owned several newspapers, a television station and radio stations in Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming and Texas.
Fred Seaton was one of two sons of Fay Seaton, who started the family newspaper group with The Manhattan Mercury. He was the uncle of Edward Seaton, editor-in-chief of the Mercury and president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, and David Seaton.
Mrs. Seaton lived with her family in Washington, D.C., for several years in the 1950s while Fred Seaton served in the U.S. Senate (1951-52) and in several executive branch posts, including Interior secretary in the Dwight Eisenhower administration.
Burt James, managing editor of the Tribune from 1950-73, remembered Mrs. Seaton as a friendly person who took an interest in the lives of newspaper employees.
He also remembered her faithful support for her husband throughout his career, including his unsuccessful run for Nebraska governor in 1962.
"She was right beside him all the way, both as publisher and politician," James said.
In 1976, Mrs. Seaton made her own run for political office, campaigning unsuccessfully for a seat on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.
Born Gladys Hope Dowd in Wichita, she studied journalism at Kansas State University in Manhattan, where she met her husband, a fellow journalism student. The couple married in January 1931.
After her husband's death, Mrs. Seaton became more actively involved in the operation of the family's businesses.
Through the years, she was vice president and a board member of family companies that operated the Alliance Times-Herald, the Lead (S.D.) Daily Call-Pioneer Times, the Manhattan (Kan.) Mercury, the Sheridan (Wyo.) Press and The Courier. She also served as president of Nebraska Television Corp. in Hastings, operator of KHAS-TV, and as a director of the Seaton Publishing Co. (Tribune) and Nebraska Broadcasting Co. (KHAS Radio).
In her own right, she purchased radio station KNEB in Scottsbluff, which was later sold.
Survivors include two sons, Donald of Hastings and Alfred of Las Vegas; two daughters, Chriss Epp of Henderson and Monica Seaton of Dodge City; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
Memorials may be directed to the Gladys D. Seaton Memorial Fund.
