Ionia Daily Standard, Saturday, February 27, 1904
Sophia, beloved wife of David M. Steere, and mother of W. C. Steere, passed 
away at the home of last named, on East Washington street, at 10:30 o’clock 
this morning, after the brief illness of about one week, death resulting not 
so much from the ravages of disease as the breaking up of vital forces.  

Funeral on Monday afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock, attended from the home where she 
died.

Deceased was aged 77 years, past.  She was a native of Tunkhannock, Penn.  Mr. 
and Mrs. Steere were highly esteemed residents of Stanton for 35 years, but 
for the four years last past, spent most of the time in Ionia, with the family 
of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Steere.  The aged couple had been married 51 years, and 
it will indeed seem hard for the one to live without the companionship of the 
other.  Deceased was a charter member of the Baptist society of Stanton, 
strong in the faith, and an ardent worker in the church circles.  While not as 
widely known in this city, yet she was esteemed as a choice woman by all who 
had made he acquaintance.  Two children survive the good mother; George S. 
Steere of Chicago (who is unfortunately ill at this writing, with pneumonia), 
and W. C. Steere of this city.
