If you are not familiar with Oregon resources I would suggest the following 
as good places to visit:

Multnomah County Public Library-Downtown http://www.multcolib.org/ (has a 
card index to old newspapers by name)

Genealogical Forum of Oregon http://www.gfo.org/ (library - costs something 
to visit and parking can be a challenge but it's got LOTS of information on 
Oregon)

Oregon State Archives http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/ (has death certificates 
you can copy in person (originals) for old records - if they exist - see the 
Oregon Death Index - see their online index for other records)

Oregon State Library http://oregon.gov/OSL/  (I haven't been here in several 
years but they did have some card files and surname files)

County Courthouses (see http://www.rootsweb.com/~orgenweb/counties.html for 
more details on specific counties)

The public library in Lake Oswego had a genealogy section also (if my memory 
is correct) and that is kind of near Wilsonville.

I will add to that list the Oregon Genealogical Society Library at 955 Oak 
Alley
in Eugene. There is a great Oregon Room with information about every county 
in 
Oregon. There is a very comprehensive Lane County section if that area is of 
interest.

Searching the Oregon Historical Records Index  at

Oregon Historical Records Index
will help speed up your record gathering when at the Oregon State Archives
