[or-roots] FAULKNER, ARNOLD JOE

[Leslie Chapman]

You are certainly welcome, Judy; As I noted in the letter and as it usually
turns out when i go to look for something for someone else, I almost always
find something of use to me, unless I am searching for a very limited focus
thing like someone in a specific Census or some such. Even then I often
stumble across missing folks fo my own while hunting down other peoples kin,
so I definitely don't go unrewarded for my "generosity"

Les,
Thank you from the bottom (and top) of my heart for your help. I am
overwhelmed that you would look for Mr. Faulkner's obit, etc. for his
daughter!  You, and everyone on this site are all so wonderful.  I apologize
for the time frame that it took for me to read this message.  Lots of
excuses like spending over 3 weeks taking care of my mom from surgery
(fusing 4 vertabrae in her neck...) in PDX...is there anywhere else?  I
moved to Washington, but will always be an Oregonian!!

What I DO know, is that Arnold Faulkner went into the service in Portland,
and at the time of his death his family was in Portland; however, it looks
like he was buried in Fort Roscrans Cemetery, in Balboa Park, San Diego.
Why?  Don't know.  Seems like if his family was in PDX he would have been
buried at Willamette.  The family skuttle-butt that his daughter was told,
was that he had another family--maybe in California? The search will
continue...

Thank you and everyone for your help.

Judy

Judy;

I didn't mention this before because I didn't know how it was going to
turn
out, if I would have time or not. I was in Eugene Springfield today and
snatched an hour from my schedule to drop by the Knight library and
look in
the Oregonian microfilms files there; I started with 22 march 1966
looking
at all articles through April first thinking the death of a home town
boy
should have at least a small item, I didn't check death notices as I
figured
they would not have any relevant info, as I was running out of time
from
first on I just looked at obits, through April ninth and did NOT find
Arnold
or any other Faulkner, I did find a Rondeau to add to MY collection,
but no
sign of your guy. Maybe I missed him; two weeks seems like a long time
to
wait to run and obit, but that's not conclusive either. I know there
are
indexes out there somewhere, if someone has access to one and can tell
me
what date to look for him on I can try again if I get another chance,
or
maybe you can arrange an interlibrary loan, or access this through a
Family
History Center. I was very disappointed to come up empty handed as my
heart
goes out to this young lady in search of her father. Obviously she is
running out of time to find any one to fill her in on the type of
person he
was, except maybe classmates. Can we assume he graduated from high
school in
Portland?

Ronda,
   Thank you for your input.  I do not know where to look since I no
longer
have access to Ancestry.com.  I was unable to find archived obits in
the
Oregonian older than 30 days.  Suggestions welcome.
