I didn't find an obituary for that date, but I did find this article in the Oregonian. Could it be her? The death date differs from yours but is in the vicinity....

The Oregonian (Portland, Oregon) Oct. 27, 1907 Pg 30
Dies Talking To Husband
Condon, OR., Oct. 26
Mrs. Robert Lee Mote, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Stillwell, died at her home in Fossil on October 18, at the age of 21. Mrs. Mote was born in Coos County, Oregon, and when 6 years of age came to Fossil with her parents and had resided there since that time. She was married to Robert Lee Mote on February 18. Her death was very unexpected. She was in the garden with her husband, watching him dig potatoes, and was talking pleasantly, when suddenly she fell backwards.

(If this is your Lora, be sure to include the husbands name when looking for old obituaries. Most women weren't addressed by their given names pre 1950)

I hope this helps!
Laura
