[or-roots] magical aging

[Paulette]

Many thanks for this link, Les. Could not find her, although I found births for the kids of her brother and his wife in Linn Co., MO. Will have to check my notes and records - perhaps I'm totally off and she was not born in MO. I know she married first in Linn Co., MO, but could not find that record yet either.

I've been searching the Marion County ORGen Web site - wow is that a good one. Took me a while to figure it out, but I found the information on the burial of my Grandfather Samuel's younger brother John Sumner (1890 MO-1926 OR), whose Lee Mission Cemetery gravestone photo had been previously mentioned - he died in 1926 in Salem while saving a boy from drowning. There ought to be press on that, I would think, so will have to check into that.

Dr. Dick Straw is a cool volunteer guy at the Oregon State Library, and maybe he can help me with that...
