Augusta became the wife of James J. Armstrong Of De troit, and Mary married Charles S. Adams, of this city. Alexander Hamilton Sibley was a pioneer in the development of the mines of the Lake Superior district and also those Of California. And he continued to reside in Detroit until his death. Sarah Alexandrine Sibley never married, and is now the only surviving member Of the immediate fam ily. She resides in her home at 432 Jefferson avenue, and is a noble and loved member Of this patrician old family of Michigan. She has been a resident Of Detroit from the time of her birth, and is one of the most venerable, if not the oldest, native daughters of Michigan, being ninety-one years of age at the present time and still taking deep interest in current events, with a mind that is alert and with a gentle presence that has gained to her the love of a wide circle of friends. She is one of the very few whose memory links the early pioneer days of Detroit with those of the present day of Opulent prosperity and progress. Fred eric B., the youngest Of the children, died in Detroit in 1907. Frederic B. Sibley. No work purporting to touch upon the his tory of Detroit and the state of Michigan can be consistent with itself if there is failure to accord special attention and honor to the Sibley family, for few names have been so prominently and so worthily linked with the civic and material development Of this commonwealth and its beautiful metropolis. But Frederic B. Sibley marked for himself a place of his own as one of the representative citizens and influential business men of Detroit, and in his character and services be well upheld the high prestige Of the honored name which he bore.
