<DIV>I am familiar with the book you cited - in fact, Sue Bell is a friend.
But note that the title is the "Asylum Cemetery." It concerns the old
cemetery there - the bodies were removed, cremated and placed in the
canisters - and documented. I believe that this is just a small number of the
cremains that are actually held by the Oregon State Hospital.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you do a Google search for "cremains at Oregon State Hospital" you
will get 2,600 hits! The one from the New York Times (quoted from The
Oregonian) is quite good and gives the number as 3,489 cremains that are
there in canisters. And the notation that many of the labels are no
longer legible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Public Notice in the Statesman Journal gives the following: Family
members may report their objection to the publication of a relative's
information by contacting DHS at: <A
href="mailto:oshcremains@state.or.us">oshcremains@state.or.us</A>.
However, I have tried using this URL a number of times and it does not
seem to work! Never brings up an Oregon State Hospital web
site. </DIV>
