THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR – Bulletin of the Sebewa Center Association; Volume 28, April 1993, Number 5:
McDONALD, VERTIE FAY (CATT), 108, widow of Frank McDonald, aunt of Hazel 
Richardson & LeRoy Catt, daughter of Nancy Jane (Herron) & George Catt, sister 
of the late Orvin Catt & Ida Catt.  She was born February 13, 1884, during the 
Presidency of Chester Allen Arthur, in SE1/4 Sec. 18 Odessa Township.  Vertie 
& Frank farmed on the A. C. Green-Reverend Hoffman-Kyle Stambaugh farm on 
Musgrove Hwy. Sec. 23 Sebewa, and then on their own place on State Road Sec. 
19 Sebewa, for over 50 years total.  She also made her rounds with horse & 
buggy giving piano lessons.  Retired to Thornapple Manor, she was one of the 
oldest people in America and had a better chance statistically of reaching her 
109th birthday than any of the rest of us.  She was 108 years, 10 months, and 
26 days, dying on January 9.  Her father’s brother, Robert, fought in the 
Civil War, and we helped mark his grave at Lakeside Cemetery with a bronze 
plaque.
