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.
Mrs. Mary E. Hamilton, the mother of Sheriff Hamilton, died suddenly at her residence in Baker county on the morning of January 1). She had been in her usual good health, death coming to her without a moment's warning. Mrs. Hamilton was well known to many here and at Summerville who will receive the tidings of her death, with sincere regret. It was intended to remove the remains to Summerville for interment but owing to the snow blockade it was found impossible to do so and the body was placed in a vault on the home farm until some future time when it can be finally laid to rest in the Summerville cemetery.
Two days following the death of Mrs. Hamilton, her sister Mrs. Nancy Warrenstaff, died at her home in La Grande after a brief illness and was buried in the Kellogg cemetery at that town.
