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 M. Bork.Your information can help others.

Joseph M. Chancey, son of A. Chancey of the Union Hotel, departed this life Sept. 26th, at his fathers residence in this city after a lingering and painful illness of long standing.

J.M. Chancey was born December 29th, 1847. Several years ago he was attacked with a severe cold which took violent hold on his lungs and from that time, until death came to his relief, he never knew what it was to feel well. Everything was done to alleviate his sufferings that kind and affectionate parents and loving sisters and brother could do. He had visited the Sandwich Islands and spent about one year, in hopes that a change of climate would improve his condition, but the grim monster, death, stubbornly refused to relax his hold, and on the morning of the 26th., ult., he quietly passed on to the higher life and a more perfect existence.
