Hi Jane, if you haven't recd this info, check out www.raogk.org, choose Oregon, choose Umatilla Co. Look for a volunteer who does obit look ups.

If there isn't a volunteer listed, go to the Blue Mountain Gen. Soc. (Umatilla Co.), www.uci.net/~sandral/. Most Gen. Soc. will do this kind of research for a reasonable fee.

Also there is Umatilla County Resources, gesswhoto.com/um-resources.html.

The Cemetery where he is buried might be listed at www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/oregon/umatilla.html. Good Luck
