I am searching for information regarding the death and burial place of my Great grand father George A. Brown born 1826, who is reported to have died in Cornelius Oregon between 1896 and 1900. He was born in Rhode Island and lived in Medina County Ohio before moving to Oregon. He and his family are listed on the 1880 Ohio census. He was a retired farmer and former Justice of the Peace in Medina County Ohio. His wife was Lucy A. Brown and he had two daughters Alma 1858 and Georgiana 1863. His wife Lucy Ann Brown died in Portland on March 1, 1905 and her place of interment is listed as Cornelius Oregon but that is all the information I have. I believe they may be buried at the same cemetery along with other family members. I would appreciate any information that you may find. Thank you Diane Dorrien, EUROTR@aol.com

Dear Diane: I also have the news article (Hillsboro Argus) that says Lucy Brown died in Portland, and was buried in Cornelius. There the trail grows cold; there is no listing in the Cornelius Methodist Cemetery, the town cemetery; or in surrounding cemeteries including Hillsboro Pioneer and Forest View. there are no Dorien/Dorriens there either. And not in Riverview of Portland. In 1900 Census, as you probably have consulted she is living with James and Alma Dorien in Cornelius; Lucy is a widow, has borne two children only one living. So where is Georgiana... do you know a married name?? I do not find a marriage record for either in Washington County. It is possible that Alma was married in Ohio. Lucy's death certificate can be obtained from the Oregon State Archives; with the death date and place Multnomah County; it might show more detail. The news article is not the first that gives a piece of information that was not carried out by the family. I do not find a burial listing in the surrounding catholic and smaller town cemeteries in the northwest part of the county.
