[vss - from half copy of Oregon death certificate provided by desc.

For the past seven months she had made her home with the N. B. Moore family. Mrs. Moore was her niece. Funeral services were held at the Smith River church on Thursday afternoon January 5, with Rev. Paul Roper of Brookings officiating and Mrs. Mark Wood as soloist. Pall bearers were Vernon Hanscam, Melvin Fitzhugh, Walter Edwardson, Eric Olsen, Oscar Olsen and Archie McVay. Interment was in the Smith River cemetery. Elmira Snodgrass Lavasseur was born February 20, 1853, in the state of Illinois. At the age of seven she crossed the plains with her family who settled in the Smith River valley in northern California. Since then, with the exception of a few years spent in the states of Washington and Montana, she had lived in the southern Curry and northern Del Norte counties locality. In early womanhood she married Peter Costelloe. To them were born four children, Edmund, Eva, Revis and Ruby. Only one, Mrs. Ruby Youngson, now in Texas, survived the mother. Other survivors include a step-son, Lester Lucas of Harbor, eleven grand-children and a sister, Mrs. Eva Smith of Grants Pass. In 1915 she married Paul Lavasseur who died in 1936. Several years ago Mrs. Lavasseur embraced the Adventist faith and her religion was the source of great comfort to her. Ever of a cheerful disposition, her staunch pioneer spirit stayed with her to the last and leaves happy memories to those who knew and loved her. --------------------- [vss - from Curry Co Bios] Ostrander, John W.; Scio, Linn Co., OR 2 Aug 1872 > Curry Co., OR 28 Jun 1894; m.
