The names painted on most of the buildings in SS have a significance in that story of the settlement of fictitious Spanish Springs.

There is a very small mention to people you are asking about.

"Riding a wave of profits generated by trade with the Confederacy as well as Spanish Cuba, the Cattleman's Association of Spanish Springs, led by Adam McCall. builds its headquarters and administration center on Main Street in 1868. That same year a gentleman named H.G. Seymour is named "Cattleman Of The Year" at the association's annual South Fork Barbeque."

My assumption would be the two first names would be his children although it does not say that. FYI look above Margaretville at the stop sign on Main Street and you will see the building is the Cattleman's Association.

Cool story..
