Ionia Sentinel-Standard - Aug. 1993

100 YEARS AGO
August 10, 1893

Mrs. Jonathan Tibbitts died on Wednesday evening at her home in Greenville at 
the age of 78 years. Mrs. Tibbitt’s maiden name was Mary Dexter and she was the 
eldest daughter of the late Samuel Dexter, leader of the colony which settled 
in Ionia.

Mr. and Mrs. Tibbitts have been for more than 50 years residents of Ionia and 
vicinity, having gone to Greenville in their old age to make their home with a 
son and daughter.

Their earlier home was on East Main Street where now is the residence of E. T. 
Montgomery. Subsequently they removed to a farm in the Township of Berlin, east 
of the farm of Hon. Alonzo Sessions, who married one of her youngest sisters. 
(I believe this should be “west” not “east” of the Sessions farm.)

The remains will be brought to Ionia on the noon train Friday and taken 
directly to Balcom Cemetery for interment.
