Lorenzo Dexter, who will be remembered as one of the early pioneers of this
place, a son of the late Samuel Dexter, and brother of John C. Dexter, is dead,
the news of his death having just been received by his friends here. For many
years he has resided in California, whence he removed from Ionia somewhere
between 1850 and 1860.

Lorenzo Dexter whose death has been already noticed, removed from Ionia to
California in 1850, and at first engaged in mining. He afterwards bought a farm
in Tolo [Yolo] county, on which he resided till the time of his death. He had
three children, two sons and a daughter all of whom are living in California.
Thirty years ago the deceased was a familiar figure at the old red mill, with
its big overshot wheel and the water trough which ran over the street,
furnishing the motive power for grinding grists. It was the same mill which,
rebuilt, remodelled and furnished with steam power is now called novelty mills.
The last man who was identified with its early history is now gone.
