November 1911

Miss Emily Shoemaker, daughter of Ryerson and Sally Shoemaker, was born in 
Yates County, New York October 28, 1835.  In the fall of 1862 she came with 
her parents to Michigan and in 1869 was united in marriage to Ezekial Gee, 
going to housekeeping at once on the groom’s farm just southwest of Pewamo, 
which remained her home until the time of her death.  Mr. Gee passed away 
April 6th 1891.  Four stalwart sons were born to Mr. and Mrs. Gee; William, 
John, George and Joseph, all of whom are left to mourn her loss.  She also 
leaves two sisters and two brothers; Mrs. Huldah McLoud of Ada, Mrs. Itheil 
McLoud of Dundee, N.Y., John Shoemaker of Lyons and Farley Shoemaker of West 
Branch.

All during the early life and until ill health prevented, Mrs. Gee was an 
active member and worker in the Baptist church and her best efforts were 
always at the disposal of those who were in need of help.  We extend our 
sympathy to those who are called upon to mourn her loss and hope they will be 
comforted by the fact that she has gone to a land where all is fair and 
sunshine.
