[or-roots] E.N. Wells Photo Studio / Oregon City

[Ray Powell]

The challenge is if there is anybody of my family in the Powell Butte
Cemetary I wouldn't be able to identify them because they would possibly be
children or grandchildren of the family members that I do have the names
for. I know I sound pessimistic but so far my experience with searching the
Powell name has given me a lot of dead ends because there are a LOT of
Powells that came from the southern half of the east coast and my Powells
came from New England. Anything is possible.
