The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Monday, February 21, 1927
Mrs. Rebecca J. Remington, 167 East Washington street, who fell a week ago 
Sunday evening while on her way to attend services at the Church of Christ, 
and who since that time has been under the care of a trained nurse, died 
shortly after noon Monday.

Last September Mrs. Remington celebrated her eighty-sixth birthday 
anniversary.  She was born in the state of New York, but had been a resident 
of Ionia for many years.  Her first husband, Henry J. Cheney, did in 1891.  
Three years later she was united in marriage to Wager T. Remington.  He died 
three years ago last October.

In the Church of Christ, of which she was a member for many years, Mrs. 
Remington was one of the most faithful workers.  Mrs. Remington was also one 
of the oldest members of Queen Esther chapter, order of Eastern Star, and of 
Steven Thompson Mason chapter, D.A.R.  At the last meeting of the D.A.R., held 
in January at the home of Mrs. Erean Welch, Mrs. Remington appeared on the 
program.

She is survived by two stepsons, Malcom Remington, of Oregon, and Floyd 
Remington, of Detroit, and a stepdaughter, Mrs. Lillian Peake, of Grand 
Rapids, besides many grandnieces and grandnephews.

Funeral services for Mrs. Rebecca Remington were held from the Church of 
Christ Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock.  For the past years Mrs. Remington had 
been a member of the Ionia Church of Christ.  She was always found in her pew 
on Sunday mornings and was present in the Sunday evening service as often as 
her health would permit her.  The sermon was given by Rev. Herbert G. Herrell 
and the music was furnished by Mrs. George Fox.

Members of the Stevens Thomson Mason chapter, D.A.R., Queen Esther chapter, 
Order of Eastern Star and Mrs. T. B. Preston’s Sunday school class of the 
Church of Christ attended the service.  The bearers were Henry Robertson, 
William Robertson, A. J. White, F. S. Loree, Ben Cox, and T. B. Preston.  The 
flowers were in charge of Mrs. H. Robertson, Mrs. George Coe, and Mrs. Frank 
Hall.  Burial was made in the family lot at the Highland Park cemetery.
