Pauline Boardman 1990 obit
« on: Wednesday 04 February 15 23:59 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone find an obit for Pauline please? She died 7 Jan 1990 Rosebud Montana. I am hoping there is a reference to death of her husband George - date and place unknown.

I've sent a PM with the exact obit of George E Boardman.  Here is a transcription of the obit.

Billings Gazette
2 May 1959


George E Boardman, former resident of Forsyth, died recently in Portland, OR.  He had
worked as both a brakeman and switchman for the Northern Pacific Railroad during his
time here.

Born in Tyler, MN in 1890, he had lived many years in North Dakota before moving to
Forsyth in 1927.  For the last 12 years he had lived around the Portland area.

Survivors include a son and daughter and 4 grandchildren.  He will also be mourned by
2 brothers and a sister.


Added:
according to news articles from Billings, Pauline was also known as "Polly"

George's DOD appears to be on the ancestry site

Familysearch  has a death for a George E Boardman 24 Apr 1959 Multnomah Oregon. Could be mine. Will have a further look.

Thanks - much appreciated

Yes, familysearch also has the Oregon Database.  I was in the process of revising my reply when yours came through.
