<div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">While doing research in the Corvallis Gazette-Times for the Jan. 2-3, 1935 time period, I made note of some items on vitals. Here's what I found for the New Year's baby of that year. I also have info on a few marriage licenses and four deaths. Surnames include: Adams, Barnes, Day, Friermood, Gelvin, Hassler, Lewis, Merritt, Southam, Whiteside, Willman, Wood. If anyone is interested, let me know. I'll also be posting these items on my blog over the next few days at <a href="http://oregonancestry.wordpress.com/">http://oregonancestry.wordpress.com/</a></font><div>
