The Oregon State Hospital is the custodian of the cremated remains of approximately 3,500 people who died while living at Oregon State Hospital, Oregon State Tuberculosis Hospital, Mid-Columbia Hospital, Dammasch State Hospital, Oregon State Penitentiary, and Fairview Training Center between 1914 and the 1970s. These cremains were never claimed. The hospital hopes to change that and unite the cremains with family members. To that end, the hospital has posted this list of names of the people whose cremated remains are in its possession. Hospital officials urge anyone who thinks he or she may have a family member who passed away at one of these institutions to review the list. As soon as the connection can be confirmed, the hospital will make arrangements for the cremains to be sent to the family. ---Carol Peterson 58cjpeterson at comcast.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I remembered hearing something about the husband of my husband's great aunt having been in the state hospital and checked and found out that the cremains were still there. In completing the paperwork, we found that his brother's cremains were also there but we had no relationship to the brother. So we connected with other family and they claimed the remains of the brother. We set a date to get together with all the relatives that we could and interred the cremains in a family area of a cemetery in Coos County and purchased and set headstones for the two. In the process discovered that the mother had a beautiful headstone but that the father and sister did not. Robyn Greenlund found that the father was eligible for a veteran's headstone and ordered that and the group of relatives bought another headstone for the sister. So now all family members buried there have stones to mark their graves. It was a very rewarding experience to know they had been brought home to rest.

And this week I was interviewed by an AP reporter about my experience and even a reporter for a radio program in Ontario, Canada. Since the list has been made public, the story really has caught a lot more folks attention. However, I do know for a fact that your numbers are not correct. There were originally 3,500 unclaimed cremains - the last number of those who had been claimed that I heard was about 129 so there is still a long ways to go. That is why they made the list public.

Her cremains could not be found. I incidentally received the same answer in 2005. I have been involved with this ?problem? since February 2005, when an article by Michelle Roberts appeared in the Oregonian. The number then provided by the Hospital was 3490. However, on June 3, 2003, the Statesman Journal had an article in which Glenn Peterson, assistant director of support services at the hospital, says ?that the more than 4000 cans of cremated remains from previous patients date back as far as 1883?. The article also stated that each container could be cross referenced to a patient. It even cites two references, patients who died in 1896 and 1902. An article by Sarah Kershaw also appeared in the New York Times. I contacted Michelle and subsequently was interviewed by her and Laural Porter. I was part of the working group which met periodically at the hospital with a goal of recommending an appropriate resting place for the unclaimed cremains. The numbers game has been a continuing one. Available records show that in 1976 over 5100 containers were relocated to underground vaults. About 2000, because of water problems, the containers (less those which had been claimed by relatives) were placed in above ground storage. Then, in 2005 the count was 3490 (in 2003 it was ?more than 4000?) and only covered the period from 1914 on. In actuality nearly 1500 canisters have been lost. This was the number of deaths from 1883 to 1914. What happened to the missing? At a meeting in June 2005, Maynard Hammer, deputy hospital superintendent, stated that as part of their search, the underground vaults were cleared, then filled with dirt and covers replaced. He also said that all the buildings had been searched. No 1883-1914 cremains had been found anywhere. Essentially case closed. However, he had no answer to an earlier report by the hospital that about ? of the canisters could not be identified. Maynard incidentally questioned the 5100 number and even the Asylum Cemetery History book which contains a detailed listing of patient deaths through 1914. I?ll leave conclusions up to you.

Watch for your cursor to change to a pointing hand and click to follow the links! -- Many of the listings include obituaries or military affiliations These four cemeteries are: Catching Creek Pioneer Cemetery Listing Cemetery Plot Map Coquille IOOF Pioneer Cemetery #1 Listing Cemetery Plot Map Gravelford Pioneer Cemetery Listing Cemetery Plot Map Upper Fishtrap Pioneer Cemetery Listing Cemetery Plot Map This project was supported in part by a grant from the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which allowed me to purchase a hand-held GPS and to provide funding for printed copies of the cemetery maps placed in the Myrtle Point library as well as the Amling/Schroeder Mortuaries. Additional listings and plot maps are forthcoming for the Lee Valley, Coquille IOOF #2, Coquille Masonic and Norway Cemeteries. This project has taken over two years to complete.

I also don?t post all details on the site. I?ve been researching the women for 30 years. It?s taken me that long to find all of them. The purpose of the web site was to provide basic info in case descendants were searching for the women. It?s worked out very well. The location of the mine saw almost 30 claims filed in that area since about 1881. I found that some of the women had connections to Oregon as did others that were connected to the mine or to Wrangell. Thank you for taking the time to search on this for me!

I have a subscription to GenealogyBank.com and have been having great fun, as well as great success searching historical newspapers for items about Junction City, Oregon. Yesterday I came upon one that is particularly important to our history but it is only the first part of the article -- and nowhere could I find to get the remainder. (Apparently when the newspaper was digitized, they didn't do the jump.) Here is what I have from the "Morning Olympian" from 21 September 1895: THE DEADLY SHOTGUN Eugene, Or., Sept. 21. -- M. B. Pitney of Junction City, was instantly killed today by the accidental discharge of a shotgun. He took hold of the muzzle to draw it out of a wagon. The trigger . . . . . and that is where the story ended. Can anyone help?

What I have found works best is to click on the icon for the whole page where the article is located, then look in that full page for the continuation of the article. This icon is located on the toolbar near the top right of the screen, two icons to the left of the 'pdf' one. You can then zoom in on the whole page, continue to the next page, and hopefully find where the article continued. You can also view the article in a PDF file (by clicking on the PDF) - that way if Genealogybank had both pieces of the article available, you would see both on a single screen.
