The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Saturday, November 18, 1972

A former resident of Ionia, Rex Sible, 90, died Thursday at Ingham County 
extended care facility where he had been a patient since 1968.  Born August 
24, 1882, in Berlin township, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1903, where he 
served as a cavalry company bugler while on Mexican border patrol in Texas 
territory, and honorably discharged November 17, 1906, at Fort Sam Houston.

Mr. Sible was employed a major portion of his life as a painter and 
paperhanger, and gained pleasure from regaling listeners with tales of his 
Mexican border experiences while on patrol.

Surviving are two sons, Maurice of St. Clair Shores and Lynn of Lansing; one 
sister, Flora Alexander, living in Ohio; five grandchildren and 13 great 
grandchildren.

The body is at Stone-Kauffman funeral home in Ionia where family and friends 
may visit Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.  Services 
directed by John H. Doughty will be at 1 p.m. November 20 with the Rev. 
William Brower of Lansing officiating.  Burial will be in Balcom cemetery.
