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>

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>
