Delia A. Doud was the last member of a prominent Oregon family, the youngest of seven children born to Gideon and Anna Thayer in Gainsville, J.J. Her family traces its ancestry back to the Pilgrims, and four of her brothers were noted jurists. Andrew J. Thayer was appointed in 1861 to fill the unexpired senatorial term on Colonel E.D. Baker, killed in the battle of Ball's Bluff. He served also as supreme judge from 1870 until the time of his death in 1873. W. W. Thayer was elected governor of Oregon in 1878 and judge of the supreme court in 1884, dying in 1899.
Mrs. Doud was a woman of unusual brilliancy. She was graduated from Lima College, NY., in 1861 and immediately married a schoolmate, Edward Oscar Doud. In 1877 they moved to Portland where Mr. Doud practiced law until his death in April 1891. Mrs. Doud was an ardent student until her death, an artist of ability and author of many poems of merit. She was an active member of the Portland Women's club and of the Monday History club.
Surviving her are two nieces, Viola Thayer, 172 East Morrison street, and Mrs. Clara M. Harding, San Diego, Cal.; a grandniece, Delia A. Thayer; grandnephews, Norman A., Wallace E., Wayne A., and Carter A. Thayer, all of Portland.
