Dear Mark, Jerrald and other Listers! Thank you very much for your latest message in regard to the Melheim family of Albany, OR I am well familiar with family tree from 2004, since I provided most of the background information(!). However, the person behind that tree have never been able to provide me with an exact death place for Severt Melheim, which is exactly what I am looking for! The same is true as far as Gladys Nelson is concerned! By the way, I should mention that I would also very much appreciate finding obituaries for a couple of other members of this family: * Helen Bartley MELHEIM, died Feb. 19, 1984 at Brinnon, Jefferson Co., WA * Arnold Curtis MELHEIM, died Aug. 16, 1970 at Washington, DC (where he worked as a librarian at Library of Congress), but is buried at Albany, OR * Stanley Paul TASSIN, died Feb. 19, 1995 at Beaumont, TX Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
