My cousin, Alexander B. Hamilton, died in Portland Dec 23 1898.  I have
tried to find his obituary in the Ancestry.com newspaper and obituary 
databases without
success-- they do not cover the year 1898.  I would really appreciate it if 
someone could do a lookup for me.  Thanks ever so much.

Sorry, Helen

I can send the wording of an obituary printed within the past 30-days for no 
charge or
you can get that same wording on line. I can no longer look up obituaries 
more than
30-days old.
 
When I first started indexing Register-Guard obituaries in 1997, I never 
dreamed that they would be archived somewhere forever. I intended them to be 
"throw-away" bits of information and was happy to send obituaries for the past 
30-days.
 
I have no way of looking at back issues more than 30 days old. I would 
suggest that you go to the Oregon Genealogical Society website
  http://www.rootsweb.com/~orlncogs/ogsinfo.htm
and look under research. I think from there you can email the head researcher 
and the cost is quite nominal as explained on the website.
 
A friend of mine also does newspaper lookups at the UO Knight library. I 
don't know his current charge, but you can email him at GToftdahl at aol.com 
 
I hope this is helpful to you.
