This is one of my paternal Grand mother's kin lines that I recently did some work on and was able to fill in a lot of blanks.
One of the things that made it a little tough was my dad's cousin Roy who was raised by his grandparents and hence did not have a lot of contact with most of our family is actually Albert Leroy and it took me a while to be sure I was on the right track.
I am not going to post details as I believe he is still living though his wife passed away in Tumwater in 2006 and I am kind of wondering if that was about the time he showed up at a family reunion for the first time in quite a while, though it may have been ten years or more before that we saw him as it seems like my dad was still alive at the time, Maybe I have a picture somewhere that will tell me but who knows when I will find that.
Any way what I do have is the newspaper articles about the death of their son Craig in a car wreck in California in 1978; the birth dates of all three of the other children; Mark Leroy 1954, Welda Lynn 1956 and Scott 1960.
I have Craig born in New York, but no clue where and no idea where the other three were born. And I have Mark married to Amanda Susan Maeser in Utah in 1981; Welda ma Charles Acy Jolley in 1977 in Washington and Scott ma Sonya B Thaller in 1983 in Washington.
I believe the last couple are no longer together, but am not positive as a lot of the information I have on them is from Public Records on family search and EBSCO    and that is not always reliable. I do have what I consider reliable dates of birth for all three spouses and know that Amanda was born in California.
What I would like to know is where the rest of them were born and whether I am right about the divorce. 
I see that this is not really an Oregon question once again, even though Albert was born here, but what at least gives it a bit of an Oregon flavor is according to Shirley's obit Mark and Amanda are in Oregon and apparently so is Albert and his new significant other, though I am not so sure of the last. Scott was in Meridian Idaho and Welda in Washington.
