need obit, difficulty researching this surname - GRONLUND, died Salem, OR

Seeking two obituaries for:
Walter GRONLUND - died 20 May 1993
Dorothy Gerene GRONLUND - died 30 Jan 2005

SSDI index says both died Salem, Marion Co, Oregon

This has been a difficult family, I know Walter's father was Frank GRONLUND, born 1883 in Finland and died 1963 in Oregon. Any help with these obits will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

The Salem Public Library will look up obits for you for a fee of five dollars. The local paper, Statesman Journal, will provide it online for a small fee as well. If you search under obits, then archives, you can get a couple lines of the obit for Dorothy for free, which lists her parents, at least.
You might try looking for your Gronlund family in Clackamas County, it looks like they lived around Carver and Oregon City. Also, search in the Oregon Historical Records Index at http://genealogy.state.or.us/ That lists several naturalization records for Gronlunds.
