I have just got back a copy of the census from the Archives and they were showing that some of my ancestors (Weinrich's) were students, and one one laboror, in the town of Aumsville. I have lived in Oregon all of my life, and I yet this name barely rings a bell. My husband says that it is southeast of Salem in Marion county. Does anyone out there know of what might have been a school around the 1895 time? Are there any cemeteries in Aumsville or the immediate area? They listed their religion as Catholics, is their a Catholic church in Aumsville, or where would the nearest one be? Appreciate any information and enlightenment that someone out their might be able to share. Thanks!
