<DIV>The Hawthorne Asylum was in Portland and is not, nor ever was, the same
as the Oregon State Hospital which is in Salem in Marion County. Not in
Lane County. Some of the oldest parts of the State Hospital (the parts used in
the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) are being torn down to be replaced
with new buildings.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>According to a web site Salem Online History through the Salem Public
Library, Dr. Hawthorne first opened his hospital for the "insane" in Portland
in 1862. In 1883 the Oregon State Hospital in Salem was opened. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The canisters you referred to with cremains are here in Salem at the
Oregon State Hospital. Just this week there has been a legal Public Notice in
the Statesman Journal "Notice of intent to publish the names of the
individuals whose cremains are in custody of Oregon State Hospital."
..."Shall disclose to the general public the name and the dates of birth and
death of persons whose cremated remains are in the possession of the
department for the purposes of: giving a family member an opportunity to claim
the cremated remains and creating a memorial for those persons whose
cremated remains are not claimed."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What the notice does not mention is that many of the canisters no longer
have a label that is legible or a label at
all.
