  • Notes 
    • The Oregon Bio Project has Electa's date of death as 24 Nov 1891. However, I believe that Monday was the 23rd of November that year; the death notices say that she died Monday night.

      Death notice in The Dalles Times, 25 Nov 1891:
      "REMINGTON -- At Fifteen Mile, Monday night, Mrs. Electa S. Remington, aged 75 years. The deceased was born in Oneida County, New York. She leaves a husband, to whom she was married 51 years ago, and three sons and one daughter to mourn her loss. She was buried at Fifteen Mile creek, from the family residence, this (Wednesday) morning, Rev. A. C. Spencer officiating."

      Obituary:
      "Death of MRS. REMINGTON. -- Mrs. Electra Remington, the aged wife of J. E. Remington, living in the Thompson addition, died Monday evening after a short illness. Several days ago she was stricken with a severe attack of typhoid pneumonia and rapidly grew worse until death released her from her suffering. The funeral took place this morning, the remains being buried at the home ranch on Fifteen mile creek, it being the request of the dying woman that she be laid to rest at the side of her grandson who had died some time ago. Mr. Remington and his wife had been married for 51 years and had lived in Wasco county for a long time."
