[or-roots] Sanford Rose

[Wordsmith]

Bill, here's the entry from the Oregon Death Index:

Name: Rose, Sanford
County: Lane
Death Date: 25 Aug 1998
Certificate: 98-18713
Birth Date: 08 Feb 1909

My guess is that the sexton's records for Mountain View accidentally had a keystroke wrong (they put their stuff on computer a few years ago). At Mountain View, if you're in doubt about a date, ask them to look it up in their big handwritten ledger, which shows the actual lot locations, names and dates. This is very helpful if there's no headstone to locate. If you want a photo, please let me know; I can probably do one in a couple weeks.
