[or-roots] KENNETH BLANCHARD JONES obit

[Albert Belanger]

Bonjour,

I was hoping someone has access to local newspapers around Westport, WA,
or Oregon City, who could check to see if there was an obit for the
fellow below.  His grandparents were on the Oregon Trail in 1851 and he
just died while living in Westport on 13 June 2006.  Kenneth Blanchard
Jones was born in 1908 in Oregon City, and built several houses there
over the years.  I spoke with him often and visited him a few years ago
in Westport.  It was a thrill to talk with a fellow who remembers his
grandmother, Rebecca Jane (Race) Blanchard, talking about her trek on
the Oregon Trail with her husband, Joshua Pettingill Blanchard, in 1851!

Hopefully,

Albert
