[or-roots] Oregon death index lookup

[SAWYER, Layne G]

Linda,

My mistake, the first name was Henry.

Sorry, I guess I haven’t had enough caffeine this morning.

Les,
I'm confused. Denise sent you a 7 Feb 1963 death date for Henry Boye -- and Layne sent you a 7 Feb 1963 death date for Glen Boye. Are they one and the same?

Each was fined $50 and costs.  The three were charged with fishing with gill nets in Rogue River below the deadline.  They entered pleas of guilty.

That was all I found in GenealogyBank.com – I was hoping for something about the drowning death you mentioned in 1963.

Have a great day.   Denise

Subject: [or-roots] Need a Oregon death index lookup

Had a visit from a couple (oddly enough who live in Prineville Glen??) today who were looking for a photo of one of the old family homes. I couldn't help her with that, but it was a very interesting visit and in the course of it she mentioned a fellow who lived in a houseboat on the river near Reedsport having drowned.

In the course of the discussion it appears that she was talking about my wife's great Uncle Henry F. Boye, All I have on him is that he was born about Jan 1881 and that he died in 1963. I don't have a source for the date of death so do not know how reliable it is, but the birth date is from the 1900 Census. It is hard to say if this is right or not. I have dates for four of his siblings from death notices and the census dates for the two I have older than Henry are off by a year, while the dates for the two youngest children are right. But the date for the father is off by ten years, assuming I have the correct info for him.

I am interested in this as I am hoping to track down something on it in the paper. If indeed he did drown, that is an oft repeated theme in our family and I find it curious I don't remember his having done so as I knew the gentleman slightly. He was  a somewhat scandalous fellow as he had a live in housekeeper. I also met her and can remember my folks discussing the arrangements after we hit the road again the time I visited him. Odd that so many of my memories of earliest childhood are from here on the coast which we only visited rarely and then I end up spending the greater part of my life here, married to one of my kin from here.
