The Ionia Standard, Friday, August 27, 1909
Celia Buxton was born in Ohio March 24, 1841, and died at her home in Berlin, 
Mich., Aug. 16, 1909, aged 68 years, 4 months and 22 days.  At the age of 7 
years she came with her parents to Michigan and settled in Odessa township.  
May 25, 1856 she was married to Pellington Buxton, and to them were born 
eleven children, four of whom died in infancy.  There are left to mourn their 
loss, seven children, Mrs. Frank Bishop of Lakeview, Bert Buxton, Alberta, 
Mrs. Nellie Friedly, Hanford Buxton, of Freeport; Mrs. John Bliss, Odessa; and 
Mrs. Geo. Howlett, Boston, and a number of grandchildren and great 
grandchildren, two brothers and one sister and a large circle of neighbors and 
friends.

In the spring of 1870 Mr. and Mrs. Buxton settled on the farm in Berlin which 
was then an almost unbroken forest, and made for themselves a home.  Mr. 
Buxton died about four years ago, but the faithful heart still clung to the…
(illegible)…on the farm which had been her home for nearly forty years.

She was converted about 37 years ago and united with the Free Methodist 
church, but for a number of years she has been a member of the Wesleyan 
Methodist church and has tried as best she could to follow the Master.  Sister 
Buxton was a good neighbor, a faithful wife and mother and spent her life in 
the service of those who were near and dear to her.
