Ionia County News, 22 Jan 1925

Funeral services were held last Thursday for Mrs. Victoria Sleight, 74, Sebewa 
resident, from the Sebewa Methodist church.  Burial was made at Danby 
cemetery.  She was born in Portland in 1848, in a house which stood where the 
Portland Farm Bureau headquarters are located, on Maple street, died at Sebewa 
Corners early Tuesday morning, after a long illness.  She was a daughter of the 
late Joseph Roe, of Portland, and her early life was spent in this vicinity.  
She was also the last of a family of six children, one of them having been 
Frank Roe, who died here a number of years ago.  Her first marriage was to 
Isaac Bailey and three children were born to this union; all now deceased.  Her 
second marriage was to Harvey Sleight.  About 30 years ago the couple moved to 
Sebewa.  By this union there is a son, William, who resided near his mother.  
There is a granddaughter, Miss Fern Steele, who went to reside with the 
Sleights when she was 10 years.  She was sent to the Michigan School for the 
blind, graduating there.  For a number of years she has had profitable 
employment at a Saginaw institution.
