[or-roots] George H. & Emma L. (Montgomery) LIGHTLE

[ilightle2 at hotmail.com]

BlankHi Les and all of you too!

I have a photocopy of George H. Lightle's obituary, don't know what paper, probably printed on Monday, June 19, 1939, since he passed on the 16th and the funeral was the 18th. Also probably an Enterprise newspaper as he died at a nursing home in Enterprise.  It's a great piece with only two slight errors.

Now to the questions.  It mentions that Emma L. died at the Austin Hotel in Flora on Aug 12, 1910. It also mentions a 7 month old boy that passed after they came to Oregon in December 1894.

1.) Does the Hotel still exist, can anyone lay hands on an obituary for her? She's buried in Flora Cemetery (as is George), I downloaded pictures of their Headstones - beautiful shots.

2.) The boy's name was Roy Olive Lightle and that's all I've got in my files for him, GG Grandpa's obit gave me Roy's age at death. I'd like to know if he's in Flora Cemetery or where. His date of birth and death would also be appreciated. The Lightle homestead was nearly dead center between Troy & Flora (10 mi west of) but I doubt he's buried there.

3.) I own Winona Holloway's (a relative too) book 'Moving On' which has several pages on my family, borrowed 'Gateway to the Wallowas' which is mostly about Minam and Les has checked out his title but no references there. Could you check any other indexes in books you might have and let me know book titles if you get a hit?

That's plenty enough for now and just about it for loose ends in Oregon. Thanks!

Ingrid
