August 13, 1930 [TI/Avalon]: “Search for missing relatives of woman. Police and deputy sheriffs continue their search for the relatives of Mrs. Seeman, aged about 60 years, whose body was found last Wednesday morning floating near the bath house. An autopsy made by the County Coroner's officials revealed that the woman had met her death by drowning. Mrs. Seeman is believed to have relatives living on Soto Street, Los Angeles. Just when she arrived at Avalon is not known. Her pocketbook, found on the beach, did not contain anything of value. Undoubtedly Mrs. Seeman had purchased a one-way ticket to Avalon and had not intended to return to the mainland. Constable Moracich, who prepared the body for shipment to Los Angeles, stated that there were no physical indications of fowl play, and that the announcement made by the Coroner's office closed the incident, other than the search for the missing relatives.”
