[or-roots] 3rd Ggrandfather's Will

[Linda Wiley]

Nancy, in the book Imentioned in my previous message, I found it had a map of Salem with the streets.  The lots threw me--where Google placed it was really far in the country--no development other than large acreages.  In North Salem, which was JUST north of downtown Salem today, block #24, Lots 7 and 8, are on Front Street, the first street off the Willamette River.  The cross street is Union on the north and probably Marion on the south--the westbound bridge over the Willamette is a continuation of Marion Street.  Chances are this area was heavily flooded over the years--so some history work on Google for Willamette flooding in Salem.  This is no longer a residential area--Front Street is rather run-down--lumber yard, cannery, etc.  I have friends at the Marion County Artchives--just attended a program given by them at our genealogical Society meeting last month--with a name I'll see what I can do!  they are located not far from that area.

Hi Glen, I've check all those places. You know I 
typed in Lots # 7 # 8, in block # 24 North Salem, OR. on Google & came up 
with this address of the 'Big Lots store' in 4040 NE Market St, Salem, 
OR. 97301 on those lots maybe, I wonder if that could be his 
land.. Now Im wondering what the nearest cemetery would be to 'Big Lots', lol

>I found my 3rd Ggrandfather's Will today. Had to look  for it for a while because I had put it away in bins. I am wondering if  someone could help me on a map where his property was in 1877, NORTH Salem,  Lots # 7 # 8, in block # 24, NORTH Salem? I still can not find his grave &  maybe he is buried on the land.
