Name: Carsner, Margaret County: Portland Death Date: 03 Apr 1939 Certificate: 1154 You also mentioned Wheeler County, so I did not know if the following was in your line or not: Name: Carsner, Willa County: Wheeler Death Date: 16 Jan 1937 Certificate: 2 Spouse: Robert There were two Carsners who were living in Grant County when they died: Name: Carsner, Tennessee County: Grant Death Date: 23 Mar 1926 Certificate: 11 ----------------------------------- Name: Carsner, Walter Scott County: Grant Death Date: 04 Mar 1923 Certificate: 12 ----------------------------------- It's very easy and inexpensive to get death certificates over 50 years old. They are 25 cents each plus postage from the state archives, can be ordered via e-mail at reference.archives@state.or.us and they usually arrive in about a week, billing you when you get the certificates. You can order two at a time. Elizabeth in Jackson County, Oregon, USA
