[or-roots] 1898 obit possibliity

[Leslie Chapman]

Helen;

hopefully someone will make a liar of me, but I know a lot of my ancestors
did not have obits, especially that far back, unless he was a person of
importance, or family wanted to pay for it.

Obits are "usually" provided as a public service now, but not always even
today.

As I say, hopefully someone can make a liar of me, I know my great gram had
an obit, but she was the widow of a man of some importance in early Oregon
politics was the main reason she got in.

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.

Helen
