DEMOREST, Hattie Loretta (Shreve), Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 31 Jan
1902, p. 2: From the Lakeview Examiner - It is our painful duty to chronicle
the death of Hattie Loretta Demorest, beloved wife of Dr. O. F. Demorest, the
resident dentist. Few of our people knew that she was ill until the sad news of
her death was announced on Friday evening, January 16th. She breathed her
last in the presence of her husband and a few kind friends, who attended her
in her last hours. For a few days before, her suffering was terrible, but when
death came she was in peace and without pain.

"Hattie Loretta Shreve, was born in Dallas, Polk County, Oregon, thirty-two
years ago. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aspirin Shreve, old residents
of Polk County. Eleven years ago she wedded Dr. Demorest, and came to
Lakeview to reside nearly six years ago. Deceased led a quiet home life, and all
her affection was centered on her husband and children. Those who were
intimate with her and knew her best had a high opinion of her worth and
admired her for the many womanly qualities she possessed. She was a true
Christian and a devout member of the Christian Church." Deceased was a
resident of Medford, prior to moving to Lakeview, her husband having practiced
dentistry here for three or four years.
