[or-roots] lost family?

[Diane]

Pat, I have a copy of the map.  I called the only funeral home in business during that time and they had no record, because the people were not local and no one contacted them for a stone or any information.  The official records kept by the county taxing cemetery district only have names and the one date of 1976.  No town close.  45 minutes to Lakeview and that is closest.  Our county only has about 7300 residents and is 110 miles by 110 miles.  Lots of area and few people, thankfully.

No Church records either.  

Frustration +!!!  

Thanks for  the reply.   Diane

  From whom did you get the map?  Are there funeral homes/mortuaries around who might have something? What about church records?

   

  Sorry to say I don't know much of anything about Paisley, so I don't know anything about the surrounding towns.

  Buried in the Paisley, Oregon are several members of the Elder family.  They arrived here about 1868.  

   

  In 1976 a man by the name of Frank Elder was buried here.  Also listed on a map is his wife(?) Mrs. A. Elder.  There are no more records anywhere in the cemetery system as to who these people are.  Or where they came from or exact death dates.  We do not have a Frank Elder in our family records, which are rather complete.  

   

  I have read Oregon Death Index with no luck.  

   

  They have no headstones, either.  

   

  Does anyone have a idea who these folks are?  We would like to have someone in their family place a headstone or marker of some sort.  So sad, they are forgotten by their family.

   

  Thanks, Diane
