 Query;

 Now as to what I am looking for, if somebody has access to the Oregon Death
index could look and see if Delia (nee Applebee) Fitzhugh is listed there
and if so when?

 She is the mother to the Raymond Benjamin I posted a note about a week or
two ago, I have her as born July 1872 (from Census) and dead after 1920, she
married Richard Melvin Fitzhugh about 1889 by my reckoning, probably in
Oregon.

 Thanks ever so much.
