have anything on the local newspaper, you will need to try and get this
information from the University of Oregon Archives as they have SOME of the
local paper in their filmed archives. I do not know exactly what dates they
have, the paper went bankrupt this year and the IRS attached all of its assest,
between the closing of the doors and the IRS auction someone made off with most
of their archived information from before the 1950's.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been able to order microfilm copies of out of state newspapers as
well as those in Oregon beside the Oregonian from the county
library. (Multnomah County Library has a complete set of the
Oregonian at its main branch) I just ask the Librarian for
help. It usually takes a couple of weeks and then I usually have those
microfilm newspapers for a couple of week to view. And it is a lot
easier then going to or contacting a local towns library. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Happy Hunting</DIV>

<P></FONT>Hi Judy,<BR><<Fannie Henderer Hedden Husband John Fannie
killed in car wreck - car went into the Umpqua River near Reedsport we think
the date is April 1933. Can someone confirm death date, and any other
pertinent information? Would There have been a coroner's inquest? Newspaper
article?>><BR><BR>The Oregon Death Index shows the death date of Fanny
Hedden as 01 October 1933 in Douglas County. There may or may not
have been a Coroner's Inquest depending on the circumstances. You will
need to contact the County Clerk of Douglas County to find that
out.<BR><BR>There was probably a newspaper article, most likely in the
Reedsport paper. The Reedsport Public Library surely has the paper on
microfilm for that time period and would, for a small fee send you a copy of
the article.<BR><BR>Daraleen</P></DIV>
