[or-roots] Josephine Gross - Need help finding death info and/or obit.

[beavert53 at aol.com]

In the 1940 census she is listed as being born in Alabama, and is divorced. 
 The 1941 city directory lists Josephine & John as both living  on the same 
street but at different  house addresses. Wonder if  it was a duplex???

Even though 1910 and 1930 census show her birthplace as Georgia looks like  
it could be her.  Might  be worth getting a copy of death  certificate and 
checking it out.
