[or-roots] Speaking of 1903

[Leslie Chapman]

Thank you Sue and Mabel for your help. Especially I was unaware of the Martindale cemetery and for some reason didn't think to look for just Trowbridge on Finda grave.
I did find the date of March 14th some time after I posted last night but was in the middle of scanning in my ninth grade school annual and forgot to pass on what I had found.
I got that from  Francis Bacon Trowbridge's " The Trowbridge Genealogy" published in 1908 in New Haven, CT.
 It is available as a download on Google books and easy to find by googling the author. 
I didn't do very good at finding things on Google obviously, don't  know why I didn't try for a Cemetery in Camas Valley or just the name Trowbridge. I wonder if the reason I didn't find Benjamin is the person posting his page titled it Bejamin?  In the genealogy cited above his father is still living and I went looking for him with no luck either and it seems that no one else to date has come up with an answer for that one, I found several recent genealogies that list his date of death as unknown, but maybe they were lazy like me. It seems like with a name like Edwin Going he'd be easy to track down, but no luck as far as I could find, though searching that also brings up the genealogy.  
Thank you again Sue and Mable, I am going to chew on the new info for a bit then get on with my day. 
I have been having a fight with my computer for several months now as it is locking up frequently, maybe because of a card game I installed but not sure. A couple of weeks ago I opened Family search in my Chrome browser and it was scrambled to the point of being completely unusable. I uninstalled Chrome and cleaned out malware on my computer and reinstalled Chrome and the page is still useless, the only thing I can open normally on family search is the 1940 census page, but when I perform a search there it goes kablooey one me too. The problem is unique to my computer as my son can open the site just fine in his browser so unless it is something with XP it is MY problem. It turns out I can use Family search in Mozilla just fine, but that means more strain on my resources and more frequent lock ups. 
But it doesn't stop me from spending too much time on genealogy, just makes me growl more while doing it.
Thanks again you are such a great group.

    There are a couple of family trees on
      Ancestry that list the date of death as 14 March 1900 in Camas
      Valley.

              From the Family Search
                  PAF files I find this
              

                
              
                Nettie Jane Martindale [dau of 3.
                  Alston Martindale]

                
                birth:    
                              12 September 1868    Camas
                    Valley, Douglas County, Oregon
                death:              14
                  March 1903            Camas Valley,
                  Douglas County, Oregon 
              

                
              she married;
              

                
              
                name:                           Ben
                    J. Trowbridge     
                spouse's name:             Nettie
                    Martindale     
                event date:                    19
                  Aug 1891
                event place:                 
                  Douglas, Oregon         
                indexing number:            
                  M59386-3
                system origin:               
                  Oregon-ODM
                gs film number:
                              1205555
              

                
              and I find him in
                  Camas Valley in 1900 census listed as a Widower.
                  Nettie isn't with her parents in 1900 and I am fairly
                  certain she isn't in Camas Valley at all and that
                  would tend to reinforce the idea she is dead. My
                  question is where did the person who put together the
                  PAF file come up with 1903. I don't find anything even
                  remotely to explain it on Family search. Id id find a
                  Trowbridge Genealogy though and that might shed some
                  more light if I can find a legible copy of it.
