Death Certificates From the Past – Charles L and Odelia (Rike) Falk


As I stated on November 5th, I intend to keep working at scanning copies of death certificate made at the State Archives in years past. These are my grandfather's brother and his wife. They were both born in Prussia, which became a part of the German Empire in 1871, so at the time of their deaths it was called Germany. They both died in Halsey area, Linn County, Oregon.

You may notice Charles' wife has more than one spelling for her name. Odelia is what is on her gravestone. Also there is a double stone for them at Alford Cemetery between Halsey and Harrisburg. It is probable that her body was moved from the Pioneer Cemetery near Halsey after her husband was buried at Alford. I find it interesting that one of their sons, Chris Falk, was the informant for his father's certificate and one of their married daughters, Paulina Seefeld, was the informant for her mother's certificate.
