Ionia Standard – Friday, 11 July 1890
Mrs. Celia Dexter Sessions, widow of the late Alonzo Sessions, died shortly before 9 o'clock Wednesday eve., at the farm home in Berlin, a home which she has graced, and where she has spent a useful period of more than half a century.
It is said of Mrs. Sessions, and it is perhaps especially true when applied to the present population of Ionia county, that she had not a wide personal acquaintance, yet was she widely known of and respected as a woman of genuine worth. Mrs. Sessions was in her 71st year; born February 23, 1820.
She was the second daughter of Samuel Dexter, known as Ionia's first settler.
Two sisters and one brother survive her, Mrs. Jonathan Tibbetts of Berlin, Mrs. Prudence Tower of Grand Rapids, and Stephen F. Dexter of Evart, this state.
Mrs. Sessions was a devoted mother to her large family. Of the thirteen children born to her seven are yet among the living: John A. Sessions of Berlin, H. C. Sessions of Dakota, Frank A. Sessions, cashier of the first national bank, R. D. Sessions, clerk of the S. H. of C., Mrs. Prof. E. M. Shelton of Brisbin, Australia, Mrs. Dr. Covert of Casselton, North Dakota, and Miss Carrie Sessions.
The funeral is being attended this Friday morning, from the homestead in Berlin. The interment will be at Highland Park.
