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.
News was received in Union Wednesday morning of Jorg Christenson, in Dalton, Minn., who died on August 16. Mr. Christenson was the father of Chris Christenson, former editor of the Oregon Scout, and was well known in this community. He left here a little over a year ago, going back to Minn., where his death occurred. Meager accounts of the death failed to state the cause. Age of deceased was 66 years, 1 month.
His daughter, Anna Christenson, of Boise, Ida., left that place Wednesday evening for Minn., where she will take charge of the funeral arrangements. The wife of the deceased, Mrs. J. Christenson, is now living in Union, as well as a daughter, Mrs. O. M. Crossland. A son Nels Christenson, of Union, Mrs. J. A. Zerwas, of Little Falls, Minn., a daughter, Mrs. Fred James, of Missouri, and the former editor of the Scout, Chris Christenson, now in North Dakota, are remaining relatives.
