RIKER – At her home near Kiddville, April 15, Mrs. Catherine Riker aged 87 
years.

Catherine Alyea was born in Orange County, New Jersey, Feb. 22nd, 1801. At the 
age of twenty-seven she was united in marriage to John Riker and with him came 
to Michigan in 1841, settling on the farm where they have continued to reside 
until God called them home. The companion of deceased preceded her seven years. 
When young she gave her heart to God, and with her companion united with the 
Congregational church. She has continued to be a faithful and devoted 
Christian, always striving to do her duty in all the walks of life. She died, 
as she had lived, having a hope within that was “Big with immortality and 
reaching into that with the veil”. The funeral was held at the house. The 
writer preached from the text 1 Cor. 15-55. The remains were taken to the 
Otisco cemetery for interment.   N.E. Gibbs
