These are obituaries that I and many others have donated. Mine were transcribed from old newspapers. I got the microfilms through interlibrary loan from the University of Oregon. There are also many others who have donated. If there is no contributor on it, it is something I have transcribed. If there is no link on the contributor's name, they have no further information about that person. It is someone extra on a copy of their families information.
If you have any obituaries you can donate, please drop a line to Janine

DIED
Near Summerville, December 12th. Mrs. E.S. lewis, aged 50 years.
Mrs. E.S. Lewis has not enjoyed good health for many years. She was highly esteemed by all who knew her. An avowed spiritualist, she calmly and contentedly passed to the higher life in the summer land, full of hope and confidence in the progressive future.

Estella Lewis, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lewis who died January 19th 1903, aged 19 days.
When we see our precious blossom
That we tended with such care,
How our aching hearts despair,
Round its little grave we linger
Till the setting sun is low,
Felling all our hopes have perished
With the flower we cherished so.
We shall sleep but not forever
We shall meet to part, no ever,
On the resurrection morn.
Elgin Recorder Friday February 6, 1903
