I am working on a McEldowney family also--- Sam was a child living in Washington co. Oregon in the 1880 census, married in Amity Oregon and moved to Wenatchee Wa. He died there in 1930. If he is part of your line I will share what I have with you. clara foster @ clarahubcap@Juno.com Message Board Post: Would someone be so kind as to tell me the best ways/places to find obits in Washington co? I am particularly interested in obits for Wilbur Wait McEldowney, d 30 JAN 1930, Washington Co. William Henderson McEldowney, d. 16 MAR 1946, Washington Co.
