Eric and David are looking for older photos of Portland area cemeteries, funeral homes and undertakers and related matter for a Project that we are working on. Do you have any? Do you know anyone who might have some? Please let us know. Thanks!

As sad as the news out of Newport was last week it is similar to the story of Lillian Strang's, who along with her two children are at Multnomah Park. If you have a Multnomah County Library Card you can read about it in the Historical Oregonian files on line. If you have never done this, go to the county library website, click on the research tab, then research tools and scroll down to the Historical Oregonian link. You will need a library card and password though.

Ninety-four years ago this month the Portland Civic Auditorium was turned in to a temporary hospital for two months because of the "Spanish" Flu pandemic. During that time nearly two hundred people died there. Several of those unfortunate people are buried at Multnomah Park, including young George Sanborn. George's grave is located at E, 107, 5.

Save the Date! October 18, 2014. We will be at Multnomah Park Cemetery at 10 a.m. for Find A Grave's Global Cemetery Meetup. We will be locating graves to fulfill photo requests, as well as locating others. Bring your camera, work gloves, and grass clippers (or old steak knife) to trim markers. We will have a tent and map to help you locate lots. When we have fulfilled all of the photo requests there will be other lots we will do some work in. Come on out and meet staff from Metro, as well as David and Eric. Please respond to this posting to RSVP! And, if you have any questions, please ask! See you there!
