BIOGRAPHY: Tom wrote, "Looking for information about, preferably names of parents of, Amiel W.Garthaffner (b.Oct 1898 in Woodburn, OR) who married Alice R.Kohler in Dalles, Wasco Co, OR in 1924. Any help would be greatly appreciated."Tom, Do you have any particular reason for believing Amiel was born in Oregon, or that he was born in October 1898?I found a probable match in Oregon Death Index. You can contact a library in Washington County to request an obituary lookup.Name: Garthaffner, Amiel Wes County: Washington Death Date: 22 Oct 1983 Certificate: 83-18410 Birth Date: 02 Jan 1898 Spouse: Alice I don't find any surname resembling GARTHAFFNER indexed in Oregon for the 1900 census, nor do I find a child named Amiel (or any variant thereof) anywhere in the US. In the 1930 census (Pendleton, Umatilla, OR), California is listed as the birthplace for Amiel, with father born Missouri and mother born California.In the 1920 census (Grass Valley, Sherman, Oregon), California is listed as "Amil's" birthplace for Amiel, and Wisconsin is listed as the birthplace for both parents.FYI, the 1910 census (Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, ED 123, Sheet 13B) shows an Emil GARTHOFNER (single, age 49, born IL) as a cook aboard the steamer Golden Gate.
