Demie Seville Pancake was born in Jefferson Township, Coshocton County, Ohio to Samuel Crawford Pancake and Catharine Darling. She was the fourth of thirteen children and was named for her maternal grandmother Demie Butler Darling. In 1877 she married Theodore Washington Whiteley at her parents’ home in Blandinsville, Illinois. She and her husband Theo migrated with her large family to Utah about 1880. They settled in Salt Lake City. Demie and Theo did not have any children. She died of myocarditis at the age of 61 and was buried in her father’s family plot in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City, Utah. At the time of her death, she was living at 851 3rd Avenue. After her death, her husband married again. His new wife was Rose Hartwell, a well-known Utah artist. They are buried together elsewhere in the same cemetery as is the resting place for Demie. Of interest is the fact that the Death Book in the sexton’s office listed her as Jennie P. Whiteley but her grave stone is carved correctly.
