                  This is from the OREGON DEATH INDEX.  A copy could be
ordered from the State Archives.  Depending on how much information the
surviving informant had, you could get her date and place of birth, date and
place of death, place of burial (which you already have), parent's names,
and name of the informant which sometimes gives you a clue to name of
another relative.  Do you live in Oregon?

                  This Hazel Cornell may not be your grandmother, do you
know her date of death?

                  Personal Information

                        Name:    Miller, Bertha J
                        County:    Umatilla
                        Death Date:    12 D 1948
                        Certificate:    14033


            Name Death Date Death County Certificate Comment

            Cornell, Hazel M 17 Apr 1949  Lane  3997

            Good luck!
            Sue
