  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 Stang
