cents in here. It's been a while since I lived in Portland but when I did I
drove cab for a while and that address is in an area where I remember an

"flophouses" are generally situated.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

Oregon (503) 963-1932 and talked to a very helpful lady. She found
the 1967 phone book for Portland and found White House Nursing Care. The
address was 9717 SE Powell Blvd. I didn't think the 1212 SW 4th address
sounded right. That address would be at the south end of downtown
Portland. I didn't find any current listing. Let me know if you'd
like me to drive there and see what's currently at that

FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Hi<BR>I
just received my dad's certificate. It holds a bit of a puzzle and I hope
someone out there can help. My dad died in 1967 in Portland. I was
informed that he died in the VA hospital where he had been patient most of my
life. He had been severely wounded on Normandy in WWII, and drank and
had TB. He and mama were divorced before I was 3.
Anyway...about a month ago I located a living cousin, and she told me that my
dad had died alone in a "flop house" in the Burnside area of
Portland. Now I lived in Portland as a kid and I know where she
meant. I felt so sad about all this...so called the Portland police,
medical examiner etc to see if it was true. If for no other reason that
I want the truth....the whole truth....even if I don't like it.
The death cert. came to day and it says he died at White House Nursing Home
then in the address area it says 1212 SW4th . I would like to know if
anyone could find a Portland directory from 1967 and see if the nursing home
matches the address....or are they different? This cousin has
unsettled me...I believe her personality is one to provoke an emotion and then
step back and watch people play with it....if so..this was mean.....but if it
is the truth...then I want to research and document it correctly for my kids
and my dad's grandchildren. <BR>Thankyou for reading this.....and for
maybe finding an answer or two......<BR>Joy Tomseth Franklin<BR>Chelsea
