<DIV>The "Columbia River" takes up a great area. It could be Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA. I live on the Columbia River in Columbia City, OR, right across the river from Woodland, WA. There's also Kalama, WA and Longview, WA. These are all cities along I-5 and not far from Portland, OR. </DIV>

I think that is probably correct because my aunt Betty saw a picture of the two children and my uncle was an infant at the time and she said the little girl looked to be about 2 or 3 so she obviously died very young.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="rem_MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I will try to do a query and I hope someone out there can help me. I am trying to find a death record for a child named Verna Marie Hardwick. I think she died sometime between 1915 and 1919. She was the child of Noah Hardwick and Versey Venus Howell. She was born Sept. 11, 1914 in Oregon, but I don’t know where. I also would like to have an actual record of her birth as this date was given to me by a volunteer at the Blue Mountain Genealogical Society and she didn’t tell me where she got it.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="rem_MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This child is a total mystery in my family. The legend was that she was drowned in the Columbia river by her father who had gone berserk. I don’t think I believe this story because I have found Noah Hardwick in the 1920 census or maybe it was the 1930 living with a new wife and 2 children. He had a brother named Jesse that seems to have dropped off the planet about 1919. I found him living (Jesse, that is) in Portland in the City Directory of 1918. He was living with his brother’s wife at the time. Does anyone have access to early obituaries in Portland? </SPAN></FONT></P>
