Mable (Mabel) Thompson Seep (1890-1981), a local artist, was born in Richland County, and later farmed in Ironton and Winfield townships with her husband Frank. Mabel’s granddaughter Genie Seep donated several of Mabel’s paintings and photographs to the Reedsburg Historic Preservation Commission in 2019. The paintings can be viewed on the Commission’s website. The Commission transferred the photographs to the Reedsburg Public Library in 2025. Two letters by Mabel, owned by the Richland County History Room, and included with their permission, illuminate Mabel Thompson Seep’s early years as a school teacher, artist and author.
