The Medical Counselor, Volume 20
Dr. Vesta C. A. Gesler, of Saranac, Michigan, passed away on the afternoon of
June 19, 1901, after an illness extending back to February of the present year.
 Her death was caused by sarcoma of the liver.  For many months she regarded her
case as hopeless and patiently awaited the inevitable result of the malady.

medicine for twenty-five years, having taken up the study of medicine under the
tutorship of Dr. A. E. Gesler in 1877, graduating from the Hering College of St.
Louis, Mo., in 1881.  She was a faithful and honored member of the
Congregational Church of Saranac, and Superintendent of the Sunday school of
that church.  

Mrs. Gesler was born in Richmond, Macomb County, Michigan, November 24, 1854,
and came with her parents to Saranac about thirty years ago.  She was married to
Dr. Gesler September 10, 1878.  She leaves a husband, two sons, three sisters,
one brother, besides a large circle of friends to mourn her loss.  The funeral
was held from the residence, conducted by her pastor, Rev. H. C. Snyder,
assisted by Rev. J. W. Steffe.  This singing was by the Glee Club of Lowell. 
Her Sunday school class attended the funeral as a class, and the graduating
class of the High School also attended in a body, her older son, Farrand, being
a member of the class.  (A.G.)
