[or-roots] Found him

Good job!

I just got a wild hair and decided to find out how to pronounce "Pend
Oreille" since on the face of it my pronouncing it just the way it's spelled
I suspected was wrong. Wonder if I have ever said that out loud to some one
who knew how to say it?? they probably wondered where I was talking about;
Pawn deh raw with emfasisis on the raw is as close as I can get in print.
Dalkena for those who were waiting with bated breath (bet some of you
thought that was spelled baited didn't you?) is about 45 miles north -
northe east of Spokane on a right ancle bend in the Pend Oreille River.

I guess any language than can pronounce Worcester Wooster shouldn't suprise
me that some thing that looks like two words with a total of at least four
sylables would be pronounced as one word with three.

Just never remember to use Google.  Duh!  My great grandfather Thomas Howell
died on Oct. 1, 1933 in Dalkena, Pend Oreille, Washington and was buried on
Oct. 4, 1933 in Newport Cemetery which is in Newport, Washington.  Case
closed I can move on now and try to find where Jane Deford Rowland is
buried.
Thanks again everyone.
