Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Portland, Oregon gave me a telephone number of the Oregon Historical Cemetery Association 503-658-4255. They are susposed to have a listing of all burial sites. I have not called them yet. Lorraine

Thank You everyone who offered help and advice in locating the burial sites of Kenneth Ross and Golda Sanders. I found them thanks to your advice and help buried at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Thank You all so much. I still have to find Edith May Berry Ross born 1867/8 died???? and Mary Wood daughter of Golda Sanders. Hopefully she is still living and we can exchange information. A first cousin passed away the month I started looking for her. She had been living not 200 miles from me. I hope that doesnt happen with Mary Wood. Thank You all again. Phyllis pdc@thegrid.net

Hello, Just an update on Portland/Vancouver Cemetery/Funeral home pages. New cemetery pics added on 09/26/2000 (total of 48 pics): Brainard Cemetery Columbia Pioneer Cemetery Powell Grove Cemetery Lone Grave: Ramsey, Fred H. Unknown Cemetery off Burgard St. (***Please Email if you know the name of this cemetery!! Thank you) <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/gninnah/cemetery.html">Portland,OR - Vancouver,WA Cemeteries & Photos</A> **I have enjoyed "hunting" for these cemeteries... some have been very hard to find... I love to take some time and view the older stones... While some graveyards are in good condition, and it is obvious that someone/s takes great care of the grounds.... all too many others are terribly in need of assistance. The vandalism makes one want to cry... **also, some of the cemeteries are down-right scary to visit... some cemeteries are very overgrown with vegetation, where people can hide.... Just today there were several transients camped out in the Powell Grove cemetery.... Columbia Cemetery has a caretakers shack that (last spring) was being used by squatters and drug paraphernalia was left about.... so, if you plan on visiting a cemetery you have not been to before, please take a friend along :-) Pat

I am looking for anyone who has access to a Lincoln High School, Portland, Oregon, 1952 Year Book. I would like to copy a picture and info of Donna Jean Marshall, who graduated Lincoln in 1952, for genealogy purposes.

Jacobson-Cascade Funeral Home's phone number is 503-775-4321. Call them if you are not getting a reply to a letter. They are located on Mt. Scott, so being buried at one of the cemeteries on Mt. Scott would seem likely. Lincoln Memorial is the largest, and would seem the most likely for a 1963 burial.

My husband just went to the Oregon Historical Society in downtown Portland last week and went through City Directories. You might check there to see if they have those years; he was looking at earlier years. http://www.ohs.org/ He did say it cost $6 to get in unless you have a Multnomah County library card, or it's free for seniors on Thursdays.

The main public library on 10th has City Directories available for research. BUT, the war years are missing (1945/'46/'47/'48/'49). Is there a place where the telephone directories covering that period of time are available for research? I know they were trying to save paper and making 'directories' seemed like a waste of time when we were all trying to build ships, etc...but, surely a good researcher has found a way around the lack of directories. ???

If any of you might have any more suggestions or if any one might know how I could contact MARY WOOD I would appreciate it very much. I have tried the white pages on line with no luck. Hopefully she would have answers to all my questions and I would gladly answer hers. One kind lady offered to try to find the burial sites for me so I have hopes. They just dont seem to be listed anywhere and I have never recieved a reply from the funeral home. Thank You, Phyllis pdc@thegrid.net

If anyone is interested, I have my dad's 1928 Lincoln High School Senior class yearbook. Lincoln High school at that time was the building that is now Lincoln Hall at Portland State University.

Searching for Eugene M. Green who lived in Portland, Oregon from 1938 to at least 1952, according to city directories. His wife's name was Dorothy A. and he worked for "Faturos & Green". Don't know if or when he died. Anyone know him? Anyone know what kind of business "Faturos & Green" was? He is listed as "sec" for secretary from 1938-1941. Thanks, Sharon S_Foree@Prodigy.net

Is there a list available where someone could look to find burial sites? I am trying to locate the burial sites for GOLDA SANDERS, KENNETH ROSS and EDITH ROSS. I have contacted the funeral home that handled the services for Kenneth and Golda amd cant seem to get any information. Any suggestions? Thanks, Phyllis pdc@thegrid.net

Good morning list, Looking for information on Daniel Walker Keith (ca 1824 KY-Nov 1901 Coffey Co KS). DWK went "west" in the mid 1850's and his whereabouts were unknown until about 1895 when his sons found him operating a river ferry in Multnomah Co OR (Willamette or Columbia River?). Also, a "D Keith" appears on the 1895 Multnomah Co census. I need to know where I could find detailed info on this census. What is a good source for info about ferries in the area? Property and tax records? Is anyone researching Keiths in Oregon? Any help would be appreciated.
