[or-roots] Resending rewritten O.D.C. dilemma #2 [partial fault spellchecker]

[judikat]

Hello Fellow OR Researchers,

Would someone on the list please help me determine my next step in following
a trail?

It took three requests to find what I believe is the death certificate of an
ancestor whose basic bio data was:  John B. WHITE, b 1861 QC, timber camp
cook, Catholic, widower [in 1913], d 1930s when a grandson was in his early
teens.

The personal information on the death certificate is sketchy:

John WHITE, a white male logger, age "about 60,"  residing in Toledo, WA,
died on 23 June 1930 after 13 days at the Good Samaritan Hospital in
Portland of  Chronic Myocarditis and Arteriosclerosis.  The cause of death
was determined through exam and inquiry.  There was no autopsy, and the test
that confirmed the diagnosis was by exam.  The coroner was Earl Smith, and
the document was signed by G.W. Snook, Deputy Coroner.

The phrase "No record" was written next to every personal question.  The
informant was the Coroner's Office in the City [Portland, Multnomah, OR].
Removal of the body took place on 7 July 1930 by:  Mulh...?? or Mult...??
[Crem? or Cem?] > hard to read this portion.  Boldly handwritten over a
thinner name [ending in -berry?/-bersy?] is what looks like the phrase
"Gulbrandson Co" or "Galbrandson Co," Portland, Ore.  The death record was
filed 25 June 1930 by John G. Abele, M.D.  Above the stamped state and local
certificate numbers in the upper right-hand corner is the handwritten number
90B.  The number "90" is also handwritten just below the diagnosis line.

Questions:

1.    What agency should I contact to find out how they acquired the details
they entered in 1930?  Name, occupation, residence [Toledo, WA or "Old
Cowlitz" is now listed as a ghost town].  I would have to assume that's what
John or a companion told Admittance [E.R.?] when he entered the hospital.
2.    Would the coroner's office have taken a face photo or fingerprints of
a body in 1930?
3.     Is anyone familiar with the undertaker's name or the removal company
and where I can write for records?

Thank you for your attention.
