There is some Oakville cemetery info at;
http://www.linncountyroots.com/Cemeteries/oakville.htm

But your guy isn't buried there.

ONe thing puzzles me, there is no listing for anyone in "Oakville" that I
can see in the Census?? It apparently falls in teh Tangen precinct or some
such, makes it harder to hunt when you don't know where to look. I wonder if
this is another case of a whole precinct getting missed in the Census.

I could have a littel better luck maybe if I knew his place of birth and
appx age, if he is in the Census however it looks like info won't help you
because it will be wrong.

Can anyone help me find out the correct spelling for the Oakville, Oregon,
Postmaster from 1872 to 1902  or other information about this man.  The site
I visited said John B. Covey.  I am looking for John B. Couey who married my
Grandmother in Linn County in  1882. The NARA said there was a problem with
some spellings and I am hoping this might be the case.  Since he was
Postmsater in 1880 I have searched the 1880  Federal  Census with no avail.
I find his brother Joseph in Orleans, Oregon.

I hope someome can give me a clue.  This is the first time I have tried
Or-Roots and hope I am doing it correctly.  Thanks again.
