I have found records that indicate a Thomas Symons died in Yamhill county in 1941, but I can not find a better date. I am primarily looking for the cemetery he is in, but I have not found him in any online cemetery indexes for the county. Perhaps an obit is the only hope, but without a better date it would be difficult to find. Any more leads on Thomas would be appreciated.
A little more information on him: He was born about 1889 in the District of Columbia. I last see him living in Spokane, WA in the 1930 census. He married Frances Gale Rutter in 1916 in Spokane, WA. He had two children, Virginia and Thomas W., Jr. His son died in WWII:

His wife Frances was last known to be living in Newberg, OR according to the obit for her father in 1948.
