<DIV>As I posted before, Oregon legislated, if I recall correctly, that the
counties</DIV>
<DIV>"SHALL" report vital stats to a certain office. But by 1930 they say
a majority</DIV>
<DIV>of Counties had started to comply. I have deaths 1888-1905, no state
records,</DIV>
<DIV>only the gravestones. I did get lucky on my gr . grandfather, his
wife filed for</DIV>
<DIV>his Civil War pension, and she swore and affidavitt as to the date of
death.</DIV>
<DIV>One might also check the 1890 veteran's census, sometime a relative
might</DIV>
<DIV>be listed.</DIV>
