Subject: [OREGON] MacInnis' - Perricks - Leslies in 1929 Portland???
Date: Sun, 13 May 2001 13:07:49 -0600

I seek info on a great aunt, Elizabeth Leslie MacInnis who lived in Seattle
but died while visiting Salt Lake City 7 Feb 1929. Her body was sent to
Portland for cremation!! I'm wondering why!! Hoping that there might be a
linkage possible to locate her descendents!

Did she have family in Oregon?? or was it the only crematorium on the
coast?? She was "sprinkled" on Puget Sound.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
