I would still think odds are good for home birth at that date. Or birthing clinic. I don't believe any of my siblings were hospital born and I was born in a maternity home in '49. In fact CG didn't get hospital births till something like '53.</font><div><font face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2">It looks like Bend Bulletin and Central Oregonian are about it for newspapers in the area. I found some tidbits on Genealogy trails including lurid details on a shoot out in Prineville, but nothing from those papers and Google doesn't seem to have either of them.</font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><a href="http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn96088235/1919-03-06/ed-1/seq-2/" target="_blank">http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn96088235/1919-03-06/ed-1/seq-2/</a></div><div><font face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2">Okay, here is a link to the Bulletin for March 6 1919, nothing on the first page, and I need to take a break from my puter so will let you brows Eugene, but beware, it is hard to stay on topic when you browse these old papers, I have started to look for an obit in old RG and ended up posting half a dozen articles on Facebook that had nothing to do with what I was looking for and even getting totally distracted by an obituary for someone I wasn't looking for.</font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2">Les C<br></font><br><blockquote style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid;
