Oxford dedicates tree to former mayor
OXFORD – On Sept. 21, the Oxford Garden Club and the Oxford Village Tree Board gathered at 18 North Washington Ave. for a tree dedication to long time Oxford resident Janet Seehausen.
Village of Oxford Mayor Terry M. Stark; representatives of the Garden Club: Lynne Lightowler-Buck, Anne Jackson, and Jean Tribol; and several members of the Village Tree Board: John Godfrey, Dale Johnson, and Jeanie Petersen; as well as Mr. Johnson’s Oxford Academy High School Agriculture class: Brooke Beattie, Zachary Blair, Alaina Denz, Antonio Escobar-Boria, Branden Everitt, Courtney Flanagan, Shane Gallagher, Makia Hathaway, Zachary Hathaway, Anisia Lesser, Cymechia Lopez, Tyler Myers, Zachary Smith, Chad Stein, and Michael Strassel, all attended to pay tribute to Janet. John Godfrey officiated.
Godfrey stated that all were there to honor Janet Seehausen, former mayor of Oxford, long time member of the Garden Club and Tree Board. Anne Jackson held the bronze plaque which will be mounted at the base of the commemorative tree.
Seehausen was mayor of Oxford Village for three terms, from 1985 to 1990. In 1988, work was completed on new sidewalks, curbing, and street lamps were added too. It was also the first year that the (original) Tree Committee began Arbor Day celebrations, which became an annual tradition in the village. Seehausen is responsible for many of the plantings and improvements that the Board implemented. She continued to serve on the Tree Board, right up until her recent move to New Hampshire, as secretary. Over the years, due to her research, record keeping, and hard work, she was able to get grants, several awards, and Tree City USA status, annually since 1993, for the Village.
Janet Seehausen may have moved out of state to be with family, but she will always be a part of the Village of Oxford.
