Lane County, 20 May 1914. The names of both spouses are not

neither of the two ladies in the list who were married in Lane
County that date were named Cora. Someone has a tree posted on
ancestry who shows his wife is Cora McGuire.</small></small><br>

<pre>I read or-roots with interest quite often, but this is the second time in
as many weeks I have come looking for help. I have two people that should
have some 'tracks' in Oregon and I need guidance on how to run it down.
The first is Cora McGuire b:Abt 1886 in Wisconsin; d: 16 (Dec?) 1961
Marion County;; and, James A. Baker b: Abt 1888 in Oregon; d: 14 Feb1960
in Multnomah County, Oregon. I believe James & Cora were married. The
location "Russellville, Multnomah County, Oregon comes up in their meager
data. I believe this is [now] a suburb of Portland somewhere around the
102 and SE Stark area.
I would like to use them as training aids that will teach me how to get
into State of Oregon archives.
