Born in the town of Knox in 1852, Elmina Williamson, daughter of David S. Williamson and Anna Maria Keenholts, removed to Esperance in her youth, there marrying James H. DeMott, a proiminent farmer of that community. Mrs. DeMott survived her husband thirty-four years, making her home recently with her niece Mrs. Edgar P. Beebe, above Altamont where she died Sunday afternoon after a comparitively painless illness, nearest relatives and attending physician at the bedside.

Her pastor, the Rev. N. E. VanderHart, officiated at the funeral, Mrs. VanderHart singing a favorite hymn, which was held from the late home Tuesday at 2 o'clock, with interment in Esperance. Harry Fredendall had charge of the arrangements. Six nephews and grand-nephews acted bearers.

"Aunt Mina," as she was generally known, was closely identified with the church and church activities throughout her nearly 84 years,attriibuting her early interest in religion to the influence of the late Eliakim Chesebro. She liberally supported church and missions, which, with her devotion to nature, were her greatest interests, and devoted many years to Sunday school work. A woman of considerable natural attainments, "Aunt Mina" was admired by all who knew her for her poise and dignity and her kinly spirit. "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life."
