Seal Morse is a bit of a mystery.
He is likely to be Royal Seal Garfield Morse, 1883-1945, who worked for Buick. This person ended up using the name R. Seal Morse or sometimes Royal Morse, and lived in Flint, Michigan while working for Buick.
In the 1910 Owosso city directory, there is a Seal Morse listed. At that time he is working as a clerk at Old Corunna State Bank, and resides at 214 S Shiawassee Ave. In 1914 he is still living in Owosso, but at 107 S Shiawassee Ave. No wife is listed either time. I am unable to find this gentleman in the 1910 Federal census.
I am not sure if these gentlemen are the same person, but either are likely candidates to be Grace's Seal Morse.

I walked downtown in p.m. and ate supper at Ella S. Went to O.E.S. party in The Armory with Earl in evening. Intended to stay down all night but he had a rig so came home. Seal Morse and Rose Nixon missed the car so rode home with us. E: "Seal kissed you." Ha! Ha! Jealous. Got home at 3:30.

Milbourn and Mr Frye over in the afternoon. Walked downtown and stopped to see W.C. Stayed at Belle's all night and went to Maccabee Installation and dance. "Good times come to those who wait." Ha! Ha! Jennie Chaffee, Pearl Wren, W.C., Mable Wallace, and I. Seal M. met me on way from taking Bertha home so took me home. "I'll bet she will be mad." Oh, my.
"Seal M." is likely to be Seal Morse, who is referenced one other time in Grace's diary, also at a dance.
"W.C." is likely to be Winnie Chapin.
"Milbourn" could be Melbourne Rose, Grace's cousin.
