<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>What does Sylvester's death certificate say?
It is available from the archives because of the date. Or did you get one
of those where the informant was 'the lady in town that takes care of people who
are dieing'??</FONT></EM></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have to say, I've enjoyed my short time with
this list, if not for the information (nobody I can 'relate' to has shown up
yet), at least for the entertainment value...you all are a hoot!

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking for information on Sylvester Charles
Shelley, b 12/9/1842 in either Iowa or Illinois, d 7/24/1922 in Lane Co.
He was married to Mary Sparks (daughter of A. Sparks of Mossy Rock,
Washington), children: Anna Maude, Charles Wilkison, and Albert William (or
William Albert). I'm related through Charlie and his son
Glenn.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've had terrible luck making a solid connection
to Sylvester's parents. Family lore says it was one of the four Shelley
brothers traveling to Oregon from Iowa (we have Barlow Trail records) in 1848,
settling in the Pleasant Hill area. I know all about those brothers, but
none are claiming Sylvester!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any help anyone may be able to
give!</FONT></DIV>
