The spelling of Demotte vs. Demott
Louisa was listed in the 1880 biography above as Demott.
In addition, she was listed as Miss Louisa Demott in the Portrait & Biographical Record of Montgomery, Parke & Fountain Counties, Indiana Page 306.
Her father Cornelius DeMotte on FAG (Headstone shows DeMott)
Her mother Barbra DeMotte on FAG (Headstone shows DeMotte)
Her brother Daniel DeMott on FAG (Headstone shows DeMott) in Missouri and a Parke County store ledger shows Daniel as DeMott.
In Parke County, Indiana cemetery listings there are 16 DeMotte and 9 DeMott surnames. It is most likely this is all one extended family.
The stonecutters may well have decided which spelling was preferred without consulting the families and the ledger referenced above likely relied on the store's proprietor for the spelling.
I had originally listed Louisa as Demott as that is what is listed on her stone.
