[or-roots] George Browns in Clackamas County

[Rebecca Starck-Keene]

Bill
Thank you for all your information I will check out the George W. Brown with
the Oregon Water Power Railroad. I have inherited my mothers genealogy and
just running down some of her notes. Found his grave in the cemetery in
Oregon City a couple of weekends ago and now just working out the family
stories.
Thanks Again
Rebecca
