Hi Lisa, Yes, I've seen other obits in the papers for grange members, and they were always written up very formally in that kind of language. The Herald-Disseminator was a newspaper in Albany - the Weekly Herald Disseminator and you can see the University of Oregon holdings here: http://libweb.uoregon.edu/govdocs/orenewsp2.htm with more information here: http://libweb.uoregon.edu/govdocs/newsproj.htm Oregon Newspapers On Microfilm: The Current Holdings Copies of the Oregon newspapers are available to read in the UO Knight Library Microforms Section. These rolls of microfilm are also available on Inter-Library Loan, and positive microfilm copies may be ordered of any titles with the source code "ONMP". For further infomation, contact the Microforms Section at (541) 346-3080. It looks like they have copies of the Herald Disseminator from Nov 5, 1886 to Sep 15, 1904. The Albany Public Library might also have these issues on microfilm - you can call the reference desk at 541-917-7582.
