Belding Banner, 21 Jan 1904

From Chicago

Body of Mrs. Charity Herbert Brought to this City for Interment – a Former
Resident of Belding.

From Tuesday’s Banner.

The remains of Mrs. Charles Herbert of Chicago were brought to this city this
morning on the 8:17 train for interment beside a former husband whose remains
are buried in the old cemetery in this place.  Accompanying the remains were the
husband, Charles Herbert of Chicago, three sons of the deceased – Clement,
Austin and Arthur Dexter – and Mrs. Alice Walker, a sister, all of Chicago, Mr.
and Mrs. John Stanton of Hart, and Louis Herbert of Grand Rapids.  Mr. and Mrs.
John Morton of Alma reached here on the 10:36 train.

The deceased was a former resident of this city and many will remember her as
the wife of Jay Dexter who was burned to death in a fire which destroyed a
livery barn in this city a number of years ago.  She was also a sister of Mrs.
Smith Nichols who resides northeast of this city.  Mrs. Herbert was the beloved
wife of Chas. Herbert of 471 Washington Boulevard, Chicago and died at her home
in that city on Saturday evening January 16th after an illness of only eight
days of Pneumonia.

Mrs. Herbert was a member of Daughters of Columbian Knights, Court Vernon No 12
of Chicago, and the beautiful floral offerings that accompanied the remains told
how truly the members of that society loved the sister now lying in the cold
embrace of death.  She carried $1000 insurance in that order.

Besides the husband and three sons, deceased leaves behind to mourn her loss,
four sisters and an aged mother who formerly lived in this city but is now a
resident of Chicago.  Loving friends accompanied the remains to the burial place
this afternoon and after a short service conducted by Rev. J.E. Butler they were
laid away to await the final summons in that last great day.
