I've heard from a friend that Herman Melville was born in Seton's backyard, or something like that. He says he was wandering behind 7 State Street in Manhattan (where there is a shrine to Mrs. Seton) and found a plaque asserting that the author of Moby-Dick was born in a location behind the shrine. Is that true? 68.36.214.143 01:03, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
This was quite long. I pulled all those dealing with schools named after Seton. They belong on the respective schools' articles if those exist, not here. -- BrokenSphere Msg me 04:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I cleaned up the links and got rid of any dead ones. Sed2535 ( talk) 03:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
I took this picture the other day when there was good light and that's why I think it came out better than the one already in the article. Any opinions? Jim.henderson ( talk) 05:09, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
The article says "It was the first religious community of apostolic women founded in the United States" -- what does "apostolic" mean here? Christian? Catholic? I looked around a bit, but couldn't figure it out, which suggests to me that clarification would be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.73.247.16 ( talk) 16:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
I hadn't seen this comment but have just changed the text to reflect more of what the sense of that term would be for the general public (I hope).
I removed what little spurious information I found, and I really think the page is sourced well enough. There's a little bit of pious language that could be removed if it's an issue, but other than that I think the sourcing is good. Does anyone object to taking the tag down? carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 19:29, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
She is supposedly the patron saint of widows -- and perhaps orphans -- yet, nary a PEEP on this subject?!
AFAIK, this is the primary thing she is known for! Aren't support groups for widows and widowers routinely called "Seton Clubs" or the like?
