I am interested in finding out more about Pearl Vera Moore Truitt, who was married to Clarence Earl Truitt. All I know is she was born on 09-April-1904 in Buena Vista, Polk, Oregon, to Charles Franklin and Jessie Daisy Layfield Moore. Clarence and Pearl were married 16-September-1920 in Benton County, Oregon. Pearl died in Albany, Linn, Oregon. I know that Clarence and Pearl had several children including one named Arletha.
That is all I know but would like to find out more, especially when Clarence and

Hi Kathleen, Would you be willing to look for a Weddle in your book? It
is Rev. David D Weddle who died around 1881. Thank you so much.

You might ask the Farnstrom Mortuary in Monmouth to ask if they have
any records on her or her family and ask for details or a copy of
their records. Sometimes they have a copy of the obit in older files
or at least death and interment dates. They may be able to tell you
the name of the company that made the headstone. I'm afraid I don't

SHIRLEY,
I'm glad you had such success in finding family documents.
May I suggest if you want to share them to put this information at
Rootsweb under the appropriate headings (pull-down list)... then if
people want to contact you there will be a permanent link there.
Very helpful.
Sincerely, Beth

Good Morning,
I would like to get copies of early land records for Polk County. Is the county courthouse the only source for them or can they be found in other locations. I've lived in Salem for a few years after leaving eastern Oregon and would like to make copies of certain areas around Dalles - primarily the rural properties.
Thank You,

Hello Dan,
I have hard copy of "Index to the Cemetery Books of Polk County, Oregon"
by Shirley H. O'Neil, 2002. This index is an alphabetical listing of
people buried in Polk County. After each person's name is the name of
the cemetery he/she is buried in. About 50 cemeteries, including Smith,
are included in the index. However, the index lists no one with the
surname Rowe. Might Julia have been buried under another surname? If
so, I would be happy to look in the index again.

The Oregon State Library in Salem has an extensive collection of records
that were donated by the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society and WVGS
volunteers staff the genealogy reading room on a regular basis. You might
start there. If they don't have what you need, they may be able to refer you
to a better source. Also the State Archives are just a couple blocks away.

She is listed as a carpet maker living at home 1900 census living in
Monmouth.
I was told she might be buried at Smith cemetery .
But on a net search of transcriptions I cant find that cemetery as
transcribed any place.
So my question is this,
* does any one have any idea if she is there ?*
Also What is on the stone, even maybe a picture from some one local ?
I can go there, its just about 1 hour from here, but my car is in the
shop with a smoking motor.
I checked all the sites even this one.

Thank You, I appreciate the suggestion.
I was just trying to get the info out to as many as possible and I think I may have went about it wrong. I do appreciate the suggestion.

Dan, I've checked Ancestry.com for you, as well, and she is not
found on the 1900 Census you mentioned. Perhaps she used a different
surname or was Julia, not Julie A? I tried looking at several
searches and although were several Rowe family members listed, she
was not. Perhaps you could provide extra clues like her birthdate,
birthplace, parents names, siblings, other residences earlier than
1900? I could not find her in Oregon Death Index or Marriage Index
either. You probably know tha
Dear Shirley,
I would begin by ordering birth and marriage records and death from
the State as you may find new clues. ie: Sometimes "marriage
certificates with the application" will provide witnesses, etc.
Also it would be good to know what other sources have you already
checked so that we don't duplicate your efforts.
Thanks,

I'd be interested in the Mulkey information: Netta Spencer death
certificate, Wm. J. Mulkeydeath certificate, and James Theodore Mulkey death
certificate. I know a Mulkey family in Coos County and I believe that they
originally were in Benton County.

I am just beginning and I have not checked any where. What I have written is what I got from Ancestry.Com and from some census info. I am actually researching The Fink Family who lived and are buried in Benton County. My son-in-law's mother was Karen Marie Fink Goodell. Her parents were Stanley Charles and Edith Jessie Moore Fink. Edith and Pearl were sisters. This is where it gets confusing, After Edith passed away, Pearl's daughter married Stanley. I am hoping to find out more info about the Truitt
I was hoping some one might have seen the stone there.
I checked the website and she was not listed.
Thanks ; I hope I find her some day.
Last time I was in that area was 1999.

Thanks for all of your help. I did find the Donation Land Claims at the
State Library and they were a great help. I made large copies of those that
had the names of relatives and I'm locating them on a Polk County map and
will be taking a day to visit the locations for a photo session. I have
some personal diaries of the experiences from mid 1840's on and am going to
try to get a feel of the times.
Thank you all again
