I have just received a wonderful obituary on William Bryer NATION who died at Hood River 28 December 1889/90. It states William was staying with his son-in-law S.F. BLYTHE and that William moved to Oregon in 1871. So I am just beginning my research in the Hood River area. Does anyone have access therefore to the 1880 census for Hood River who could look up this family, either under NATION or BLYTHE. Not sure what the S.F. stands for with Blythe. William and Mary Ann NATION only had 2 living daughters, Harriet and Emma so one of these must have married Mr Blythe and I think it is more likely to be Emma. As I say I have an obituary for William but I wonder if anyone could look up an OBITUARY for Mary Ann NATION who died on 2 July 1875. Also Charles E NATION died at Hood River May 1908. He was a son of William of Mary Ann, so I guess he was staying with his sister, Mrs Blythe, at that time. Again, I wonder if there might be an OBITUARY for him in Hood River records. Many thanks for any information. Rosemary Nation (Essex, UK) rose@nation7.freeserve.co.uk
