Would someone be so kind as to check the Oregon Death Index for me to see if there is a listing for Malendeth Alfred (Dick) Dunn (b.2-20-1881 KS). I have located him on the 1910 OK Census; have not located him anywhere on the 1920 census; and have located him on the 1930 census in Lewis Co., WA enumerated 4-2-1930. By that time he was a widow and apparently his only daughter, Dorothy, was married and living elsewhere. His two sons, Vernon and David, are with him on the 1930 census. Vernon dies in 1932 in NM while visiting family there. I have concluded Malendeth (Dick) Dunn died between 4-2-1930 (date of 1930 census) and 9-6-1945 (obit of his sister which does not list him as a survivor-his other sister/brotehr are listed). Malendeth was a truck operator and hauled friehgt, so he could be almost anywhere. I have checked SSDI, Oklahoma deaths, NM deaths, someone checked the WA digital archives for me - all to no avail. I would appreciate any information if someone could check the Oregon death index for me. Liz Freman In Oklahoma!

Elizabeth, You said that someone checked the WA digital archives for you. Was that the WA state death index posted on Ancestry (starts with the year 1940), or did they check earlier years on microfilm at the library? Also, I have found that the index on Ancestry is not 100% complete. I have recently found two persons on the microfilm that are not on the Ancestry list.
