Obituary
Blue Lake Advocate, August 17, 1935
Blue Lake mourns this week the loss of one of its best known and highly esteemed pioneer residents in the person of Mrs. Helene Marie Douarin, who passed away at her home early this Friday morning following a stroke suffered about twelve days ago and from which she never regained consciousness.

Mrs. Douarin was born at Plouezec, Côtes-du-Nord, Bretagne, France on September 6, 1856 to Guillaume Allainguillaume and Jeanne Guillou. On February 10, 1875 she was married to François Marie Douarin, who had been in Humboldt County and who returned to France to claim his bride. They came to California soon after and settled in Arcata where they remained a few years. They moved to Blue Lake about 1885 to raise their six children. Douarin has made her home here ever since.

She leaves behind her children: Helene Marie (Mrs. Henry James Laverty), Victorine B. (Mrs. Daniel J. Williams,DDS), Heloise (Mrs. Hubert Alexander Baldwin), Ida M. (Mrs. Murray McArthur Harvey); and a sister, Mrs. Catherine Le Magot, in France. Her husband, who was a veteran of the Indian Wars, died here in 1905. Two of her children predeceased her: Marie Frances (Mrs. Thaddeus Albert Smith) in 1932 and Francis "Frank" Joseph in 1908.

Services were held at the Blue Lake Presbyterian Church with Rev. Gilman presiding. Mrs. Douarin was of a cheerful and happy disposition and counted her friends by the score, all of whom will deeply regret her passing.
