In addition to her three sons (who were by her side when she died) Kate Raines Kessler also had one daughter, named Helen Margaret Kessler. Helen died in a flu epidemic in 1927 and therefore could not attend her mother’s last moments nor her burial.

Helen M. Kessler (b. 1893) married Professor Theodore Whidden Gibson in 1919 and they had two children – son Theodore W. Gibson (jr) ( b. 1920) and daughter Margaret Kessler Gibson (b. 1923).
1) Kate’s son was John Rissel, not Bissel as stated in the obituary.
2) Kate was born in 1871 and died in 1938, she was obviously 67 years old, not “85” as written in the text.
