[or-roots] Is it slow or am I missing emails?

The Hawthorne Asylum was in Portland and is not, nor ever was, the same as  
the Oregon State Hospital which is in Salem in Marion County. Not in Lane  
County. Some of the oldest parts of the State Hospital (the parts used in 
the  movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) are being torn down to be replaced 
with  new buildings.
 
According to a web site Salem Online History through the Salem Public  
Library, Dr. Hawthorne first opened his hospital for the "insane" in Portland in 
 1862. In 1883 the Oregon State Hospital in Salem was opened. 
 
The canisters you referred to with cremains are here in Salem at the Oregon 
 State Hospital. Just this week there has been a legal Public Notice in the 
 Statesman Journal "Notice of intent to publish the names of the 
individuals  whose cremains are in custody of Oregon State Hospital."  ..."Shall  
disclose to the general public the name and the dates of birth and death of  
persons whose cremated remains are in the possession of the department for the  
purposes of: giving a family member an opportunity to claim the cremated 
remains  and creating a memorial for those persons whose cremated remains are 
not  claimed."
 
What the notice does not mention is that many of the canisters no longer  
have a label that is legible or a label at  all.                       Mimi
