Portland, Oregon Deaths in 1879

Compiled by Connie Lenzen, CG

The January 1, 1880 issue of the Portland Oregonian included a list of people who died in 1879. The following names are from that list.Since Portland deaths were not recorded until mid-1881, this list is particularly important.

It appears that the informtion came from death notices in the Oregonian. The notices were usually run the day after the death. Family historians should check the issues of the Oregonian to see if further information is in the actual notice. Copies of the Oregonian on microfilm are at the Multnomah County Library, Oregon Historical Society Library, Portland State Univesity Library, Lake Oswego Library, University of Oregon Library, Oregon State Library, and other libraries in the state.
