Portland Observer, 9 Nov 1933

Residents of Portland and Eagle were shocked and grieved last Thursday night 
when word was passed around of the death of Miss Minnie DeLaVergne, 19, which 
occurred at her home on the corner of Brush and Kearney streets after a short 
illness of heart trouble.

Miss DeLaVergne was a former resident of Eagle making her home in that village 
with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence DeLaVergne, after the death of 
her parents of the “flu” during the epidemic of 1918.  A little brother also 
died of the flu at that time.  Seven years ago she came to Portland with her 
aunt and uncle where she had since resided.  She attended the Portland public 
schools, later taking up music where she proved herself a very apt pupil.  She 
was a faithful worker in the Baptist church of which she was a member and a 
teacher in the Sunday school, having a class of 27 little folks.

Funeral services were held Sunday in the Baptist church, with Rev. E. A. 
Waldeck officiating.  Burial was made in the Lyons cemetery beside her parents 
and brother.  The beautiful floral offerings of which there were a  profusion 
spoke in a quiet way of the esteem in which Miss DeLaVergne was held.

Among the friends from Eagle to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Edward 
Rose and family, Dorothy Leonard, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Irwin and daughter, Wilma, 
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Newman and family, Mrs. Sadie Cornwell, Charlie Johnson, 
Marion Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Everett Quick and daughter, Helen.
