Mr. Selleck had lived in Keyport many years, and was widely known. He would have been 56 years old next January. He leaves a widow and four grown children. The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon from his late residence, Rev. E. Mead, of the Reformed church officiating, and burial was in Green Grove cemetery.
