Kitty Dexter
Mariposa Gazette, January 21, 1911
Death of An Estimable Lady
Seldom does the grim messenger of death convey news causing more general and sincere sorrow and regret, than was felt by the many friends of Miss Kitty Dexter, when the announcement of the passing of that estimable lady was received. The cause of death was acute appendicitis.
In Mariposa, as well as in other places where she was known and so justly held in the highest esteem, a dense gloom of sorrow was cast over all, and many were the expressions of genuine sympathy for the bereaved mother, sisters and brothers.
Deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Dexter, the father having preceded her to the grave a number of years ago, dying in June, 1905. She was about 42 years of age and was born on the Greeley Hill, in Red Cloud district, where she died on the 18th inst.
Miss Dexter was a teacher by profession and in her chosen calling she had no superiors. For a number of years she was a member of the Mariposa County Board of Education and served in that official capacity with that interest, fidelity and ability so characteristic of her in all her work.
She is survived by a mother on whom she bestowed at all times a true and loving daughter's devotion. Besides her mother to mourn for their irreparable loss, she leaves two sisters and four brothers; Mrs. Marion Dehl of Red Cloud, Mrs. Christian Peterson of Hornitos, Roland B. Dexter, George E. Dexter and John L. Dexter of Red Cloud.
