[or-roots] Research tips

[Ray Powell]

Somebody mentioned the Washington State Digital Archives somewhere around a 
couple of years ago and I went there and found both marriage records of my 
grandfather Calvin Russell Powell b. 1872 in Eugene, OR. We had heard that 
he had been married before he married my grandmother (it was a May December 
marriage). The archives came up with both the 1903 marriage record and the 
1915 marriage. Now if I could only find what happened to the first wife! She 
may well have been a second wife because he was 31 when he married her! So 
if anybody stumbles across a Calvin Russell Powell b. 1872 married to 
someone prior to 1903 I'd like to hear about it. My grandfather, as far as I 
can figure out spent his life drifting between Oregon and Washington.
