How to obtain an obituary from a Multnomah County newspaper.

This can be done a number of ways.

You can now search The Oregonian from 1987 to current. When an article is found, the beginning of the article is shown, and for $1.95 you can get the entire article using your Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.

Oregon Historical Society, has newspapers from across the state.

Lake Oswego Public Library has the Oregonian only, but is easy to access, and parking is easy.
