[or-roots] Bill Scott - clarification

[Judy]

Dear All,
 
Thank you so much for your help in the matter of finding information on the death of Bill Scott. I have been out of the genealogical research world for a few years so I see my request was not as clear as it should have been--sorry...any way:
 
Clarification:
 
Bill Scott (husband of my husband's sister..doesn't that make him my brother-in-law by marriage? or just my sister-in-law's husband?) and my sister-in-law had been divorced recently before his death.  At the time of his death she was living in Washington and he had moved back to Portland.  Shortly after he left she heard that he had died.  His family is a bit "different" and did not inform her of his death.  She found out through other people.  I don't know who put the information in for his obit, but I know even though he drove a truck for a short while (everything he did was for a short while...) there is no way he could have ever owned a trucking company. I truly appreciate your help!  Since at the time of his death, they were not married, can she still get a copy of his death certificate?  Will Mt. Scott Funeral Home give her any information?
 
Thanks so much, again, for all your help!
 
Judy Hakins

What are we missing here? I would have expected that the wife would (1) know where he died and (2) have been the informant on the DC. Were they estranged?
 
If they were estranged, but not divorced, she should be able to order a Death Certificate from the State Health Department.
 
There is no obituary that I can find – but there may be something in the Lincoln papers.
