<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just thought I would put my two 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 apartment building being
located. It's located quite a ways from where the "flophouses" are generally
situated.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>Hi Joy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I called the Genealogical Forum of 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 address.</FONT></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">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
