  If you have the ability to visit the Library in Pendleton they have a fantastic collection of obituaries that are all indexed and there must be thousands of them.  Someone, probably volunteers cut them out of newspapers and put them in binders and indexed the names.  I found dozens of my relatives there.

    Hi Diane,

    Would you give that web site again please?  Has anyone run across newspapers for Pendleton, OR?  I’m looking from 1908 – 1928.

    Thanks,

    Ronda

    Les,  Newspaper pages are available for newspapers published between 1846-1922  are the years available for papers in Portland, Ontario,, Oregon City, Bend, Scottsburg, Coos Bay, Burns, Salem, Jacksonville, Medford and Klamath Falls.  I was just hoping to see his name there, so only searched Portland and Astoria.  since the death had not yet occured, it would not have been listed.  You can type in one name and search all the above papers....but it comes up with a zillion entries.  This is a beta site so at times in is 'resting'.   Diane
