I came across a wonderful book in the Gresham, Oregon reference library by Daphne Ramsey, called "Skamania County Washington Births 1893-1926. She stated in the Preface of her book, that not all deaths were recorded during those days. She has about 39 pages listing names and information about parents. She must have spent many hours recording this information to help people find their ancestors. Bless her.

Let me know if I can help you.
