Hi Listers, I am new to your list but hope someone can help. I am searching for death dates and location of Ezra STRAIN and his wife Henrietta. I found them last in the 1900 census in Dilley precinct with Ezra at age 70 and Henrietta at age 63. Is there a cemetery in this area that has been canvassed that might have their graves listed. I assume that at this age this area might be there final resting place. I know I should never "assume" and I know they moved from their birthplace of Ohio , to Iowa and then to Oregon. I would certainly appreciate it if anyone could give me any help or clue as to where to search next. Thanks in advance Virginia, in Wisconsin

Dilley is a small farming community about five miles south of Forest Grove on highway 47. I don't know if precinct Dilley is the same as town Dilley. Our website http://www.rootsweb.com/~orwashin/cemlist.html does not show a cemetery with Dilley as part of the name, but the town has a small number of churches, so I assume a cemetery there somewhere. We have about six volunteers who are transcribing all cemeteries in Washington County, so if one of them can't get out there to check for a cemetery, I'll drive out there myself. The nearest cemetery to Dilley I know of was moved when Hagg Lake was dammed up a few years ago. I believe the graves were moved to one of the cemeteries around Forest Grove, but I am unsure which. The main cemetery in Forest Grove has burials in one corner as old as 1835.
