Just had news that a first cousin of my ex's passed away in Independence, Oregon--do any of the listers out there know where that is? Always wanted to visit out there but never got there---this man's Mom is still alive in a home in Roseburg, Oregon. So sad to bury a child! I am just curious if anyone knows where it is? Helen
Independence is a small town southwest of Salem (the capitol). It's more of a farming community. I've been thru there and maybe stopped for coffee but never shopped there. Back in 1959 (I think) Oregon had a reproduction of the Oregon trail with the covered wagons and everything. My BIL and I went to Independence to meet the wagon train when it got to the end of the trail.Emma > From: helenware@comcast.net > To: memory-lane@rootsweb.com; An_Internet_Family@yahoogroups.com > Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 22:56:29 -0500 > Subject: [ML] Oregon > > Just had news that a first cousin of my ex's passed away in Independence, Oregon--do any of the listers out there know where that is? > Always wanted to visit out there but never got there---this man's Mom is still alive in a home in Roseburg, Oregon.

Barb, I was just wondering if any one on our lists lived in the same area, we have several folks from Oregon on the lists. I know where it is and have seen lots of pictures of the area-looks so nice. Helen
