Benjamin Franklin Seagle (1847-1938), a realtor, moved to this new house from an earlier house near the railroad tracks. Seagle bought the lot on which this house was built in 1906 from W.P. Cline. He paid $450.00 for it. He married Florence Agnes Johnson, (1867-1936) his second wife, in 1907. They had a son Benjamin F. Seagle, Jr., (1909-1975) also a realtor, who inherited the house … The elder Seagle came to Hickory from the family home in the Daniels community, Lincoln County. His father was Daniel Seagle (1796-1885). At the time of his death Benjamin Seagle, Sr. was the last Confederate veteran in Hickory.
