I am searching for the obits for Elizabeth Edmonson who died in August 1945 and Lucille Boley who died 18 December 1993.
Any assistance would be greatly appreicated


Sincerely,
Sherry

Hi Sherry,
I believe that Elizabeth died Oct. 8, 1945. This follows the same format as other death index entries that I've seen.

If you want to help support a local genealogy society, contact the Blue Mountain Genealogy Society, www.uci.net/~sandral/ .

You can also contact the University of Oregon, http://libweb.uoregon.edu/general/gethelp.html . Successful Searching!

The Oregon Death Index shows
Elizabeth M. Edmonson died "08 0 1945". The 0 in the center is O for October.

I find a Gene Boley GenBol@charter.net having a family tree with information on Lucille Marie Edmondson. She was born 23 Dec 1898 in Oregon. She married Eston J. Boley (born 18 April 1899) on 20 April 1919. They had three daughters:
Kathryn Royene Boley, born 20 June 1920, died 10 Dec 1959
---Married William Rhodes 2 Dec 1939.
---Married Harold Gerking 1947.
Mary Louise Boley, born 23 May 1922
---Married William Mallon, 2 children
Dorothy Jeanne Boley, born 4 April 1929
---Married onald Embysk.
--Gene has Lucille death in Dec 1983. The Oregon Death Index shows 18 Dec 1993.

The Walla Walla Union Bulletin, March 6, 1966:
Mrs. Eston J. (Lucile) Boley was named woman of the year by the Auxiliary March 1. She holds her membership through her daughter, Mary Wallen, a World War II Army Nurse.

I often find Umatilla County residents having obits in the Walla Walla Union Bulletin. You could try to obtain them via:
The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . Depending on the amount of requests, it could take up to a couple of weeks.
