bullet  General Notes:

Orville supposedly died and was buried in Sep 1891. The Find-A-Grave memorial page indicates his plot number but there is no visible gravestone. Apparently this information was taken from the official Oregon government web site at http://www.oregonmetro.gov/cemeteries/search-cemetery-records/21900.

No one can figure out why he can be listed as alive on the 1900 US Census. Even the number of children noted as still living supplied by Evelyn, his mother, indicated only 3 which would have excluded Orville and Georgia, a sister who died in 1895. So why was Orville listed in the census? Or was there another child who died before 1900 and the Find-A-Grave memorial page is for a different person.
