[or-roots] Oregon death records - Other

[Sue Steward]

I am not positive about her whole situation but she lived in Kansas.  I 
believe she was in Portland visiting her son who was the informant on 
the death certificate.  But the donation of her body to medical science 
seems a real possibility to me.  She was not on a poor farm.  I _think 
_that after the body has been donated, the institution takes care of the 
cremation and disposal of the ashes after they complete their study.

Thanks for all your help.

Sue
