Ionia Daily Standard, 8 Nov 1913

Mrs. Harriet J. Dunham Is Dead
Last of Her Generation of Dexter Family Passes Away at Home of
Daughter in Ann Arbor and Remains Taken to Detroit for Cremation – Ashes Will be
Buried in Family Lot in Highland Park.

Mrs. Harriet J. Dunham of Ionia, who since last April has made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Ida M. York of Ann Arbor, died in that city of heart disease,
Nov. 3, 1912.  Had she lived until next Christmas she would have been 80 years
of age.  At her request the funeral services were held in a crematory in
Detroit.  Her ashes will be buried in the family lot at Highland Park cemetery,
Ionia.

Mrs. Dunham was born at Whitmore Lake, Washtenaw county, Michigan.  In 1854 she
was married to John S. Dunham of Ionia, where she lived about 50 years.  Two
daughters, Mrs. Ida M. York of Ann Arbor and Miss Olive Dunham of Ionia survive
her.  Her father was Stephen Dexter, a brother of Samuel Dexter, one of Ionia’s
pioneers from Herkimer county, N.Y., and she was the last of her generation of
the Dexter family.  During a long, painful illness she received from her
daughter untiring devotion and most loving care.

Mrs. Dunham was a woman of a retiring, kindly, generous nature, a lover of home,
a much-beloved neighbor and friend.  Those who knew her best loved her most.
