Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 23 Jul 1955

Funeral services were conducted Thursday at 1:30 p.m. from the Huntoon funeral 
chapel in Pontiac for Mrs. David H. Gee, 112 Illinois avenue, Pontiac.  Mrs. 
Gee passed away late Monday afternoon at St. Joseph hospital in Pontiac after 
an illness of two months, part of which time she was in a coma which continued 
until her death.  An autopsy determined her death was caused by a cerebral 
hemorrhage.

Dr. H.H. Savage, pastor of the First Baptist church in Pontiac, of which Mrs. 
Gee was a member officiated at the services.  He was assisted by the Rev. Smith 
and one other minister giving the prayers.  The organist for the service was 
Charles Wilson.  Mrs. T.N. Slosson as soloist sang “Sometime Understand” and 
the “Twenty Third Psalm.”

Mrs. Gee was born in Lyons, Nov. 14, 1898, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert 
A. Ashley.  She was a graduate of Lyons high school and of the Ypsilanti State 
Teachers college.  She taught school in Pontiac for several years.  In 1922 she 
was married in Ionia to David H. Gee of Pewamo, by the Rev. E.E. Branch.  They 
have lived in Pontiac where Mr. Gee owned a coal business.

Mrs. Gee has always been active in church work, and took an active part in all 
church activities both in Lyons and Pontiac.  She was a member of the 
Fellowship Sunday school class of her church, the Gleaner Missionary Society, 
past president of the Gideon Society and was chaplain of the society at the 
time of her death.  Dr. Savage spoke of the active Christian life led by Mrs. 
Gee and of the loyal support of both Mr. and Mrs. Gee of their church.

Surviving besides the husband, David, are two daughters, Mrs. Dorothy Smith of 
Ann Arbor, and Mrs. Mildred Pettit of Pontiac; three grandchildren; two 
sisters, Miss Ethelyn Ashley and Mrs. William Bower both of Pontiac.  Interment 
was at Ottawa Park cemetery, just north west of Pontiac.
