Ionia Standard-Fri. Sept. 15, 1893

Death of Miss Edith Gibsone
Miss Edith Gibsone died at Washington suddenly at 4:30 Friday evening. A dispatch 
received by Harry Spencer at 6:45 announced her serious illness, and one at 9:30
brought news of her death. The cause of death is given as heart failure, and it seems she
was taken Thursday evening having been ill less than twenty-four hours. Mrs. Spencer
telegrapher to have his mother, Mrs. Sarah Spencer, come with the remains.

Miss Gibsone was an employe of the Sentinel office about three years and went to 
Washington, Sept. 12, 1892, just about one year ago, where she was employed in the
same business. She was about 24 years old, and was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
T.C. Gibsone, and a sister of Mrs.Harry Spencer. Mr. Gibsone is in Chicago, where he has
been employed for several months. the other members of the family reside here.

Miss Edith was truly regarded in Ionia as a young lady of real personal worth, and a
very wide acquaintance will learn of her untimely death with mournful hearts, for her
cheerful and dignified bearing won her many friends. She was blessed with rich vocal
endowments, and it was for the purpose of a higher cultivation of this rare gift that she went
east, and in a letter from her only a few days ago, spoke most encouragingly of the improvement
in her voice, and was hopeful of the help it was to be to her in the future. To be thus
taken away, when she had so much to hope for and be proud of, is sad news indeed to her friends
here.

The funeral services of Edith Gibsone were largely attended by sympathizing friends,
at St. John's church Tuesday p.m.. Dr. Thomas preached an eloquent discourse appropriate to
the occasion. there was a great profusion of flowers. The bearers were, John
Cornell, Fred Sibley, Rodney Waterbury and Glenn Stone. Interment was at Highland Park.
