I found Cordelia Chambers marriage to J.J. Brown 1 Jan 1890 Linn Co OR. If there is an Obit found for her it may not list any of her children. The early ones did not say very much unless you were a well known person. If I have time Sat. I will check the paper.

Hi, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all Linn County researchers! To celebrate the holiday season, I've posted marriage records from 1900-1910.

I believe that Mrs. Cornelia BROWN, who died February 26, 1905 in Lebanon, is my 3rd g-grandmother. I ordered a copy of the death certificate, and there's enough information that makes believe this is her, except that the birthdate differs from that listed in the 1900 census. Can someone tell me how to go about finding a copy of her obituary? I'm hoping that it will have better information. Thanks in advance. Julia

>Did you ever think, says the St. Louis Republic, how many male and female ancestors were required to bring you into the world? Sometimes I think about this and it not only boggles my mind, but makes me feel pretty darn special and unique. I think it should make us all feel that way.... about each of ourselves, that is. I don't require that everyone think I'm special and unique. ;-) Cheryl Smith

I found this in the April 11, 1890 Lebanon Express the other day. I hope you enjoy it. (This is type as is). YOUR BILLIONS OF ANCESTORS. Did you ever think, says the St. Louis Republic, how many male and female ancestors were required to bring you into the world? First, it was necessary that you should have a father and mother----that makes two human beings. Again, each of them must have had a father and mother---making eight more human beings. So on we go back to the time of Jesus Christ---fifty-six generations. The calculation thus resulting shows that 132,235,017,489,534,976 births must have taken place in order to bring you into this world---you, who read these lines. All this since the birth of Christ--not since the beginning of time. According to Proctor, if from a single pair, for 5,000 years, each husband and wife had married at 21 years of age and there had been no deaths, the population of the earth would be 2,199,915 followed by 144 ciphers. It would require to hold his population a number of worlds the size of this, equal to 3,166,626 followed by 125 ciphers. The human mind shrinks in cont! emplating such immense numbers.
