[or-roots] Obit request

[Dan-M]

I have the probate.
Several good genealogist have read it too over the last dozen years, it give no clues. I will post it when I find it.
   Walter was said to have an entry in the very first book in Modoc co for water rights, I have never seen a photo of that, but I know he had land deals and DLC in Oregon and CA. What I can't figure is how can a person die and just disappear when they have so many legal issues. Must be a mention some place about that. I found the mention of Julia in an article someplace about the Grants pass death, until then, I had no clue.
   We looked for her many years. But with several names its hard. After Walter Matney, she married Rowe, I was wondering why?== if she applied for a divorce and after Rowe she went back to using Matney?

    Walter Jefferson Matney (born 1816 Tennessee and died before Feb 1874, Probate, California) 


  I'm thinking looking for this Feb 1874 Probate would be useful -- Babe, what is your source for this record, and what is their source (ie, wherre is the original record), or is this somebody's compilation?

  I've looked a bit for Walt in the Modoc history, but come up empty.
