[or-roots] information about doctors in early Oregon

[Anne Comer]

Thank you, Linda Wiley.
...and as to your question about the COMER surname in Roseburg, circa 1890s, I don't believe there were any of Don's Comer line in that area at that time. There are Comers related to him in that area in more recent years, like from about the 1950s- or 60s. Not sure of dates.

I found him listed in a book that Willamette Valley Genealogical Society had in their collection when at the State Library.  I don't know if it was theirs or belonged to the library and I don't have the name of the book--so not much help!
