This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5cB.2ACI/565.1 Message Board Post: I would imagine The Oregonian newspaper is the one you would want. It is the biggest news paper in Portland. As for which one, obituaries are published everyday in the METRO section. Hope that answers your question. Oh and you can find The Oregonian online, they do have a site (don't happen to have the address on me), but they do keep some archived papers on line. Not sure if they go back that far, but there is info there at the site, that will put you in contact with them for questions.
