[or-roots] Hawthorne Asylum

[Marsha Bradley-Luthy]

Dammasch State Hospital was a mental hospital, asylum, and educational center located in Wilsonville, Oregon, United States. It opened in 1961 and closed in 1995. After its closure, the former site was embroiled in local controversy as it was a proposed location for a women's prison,[1] which angered local residents as the site is less than a mile from residential neighborhoods. The Dammasch building was demolished, and the Villebois housing development occupies its former site.[2]  ?

  Yes, I just sent a message to the address - my uncle died there in 1945 and was cremated - have no idea if his ashes were ever claimed. Will see what response I get back from them.

      The Public Notice in the Statesman Journal gives the following: Family members may report their objection to the publication of a relative's information by contacting  DHS at: oshcremains at state.or.us.  However, I have tried using this URL a number of times and it does not seem to work! Never brings up an Oregon State Hospital web site.   
    The probable reason you do not get a website is that this is an email address -- NOT a URL link.
