Notes for Charles Marcus Matkin



The Oregonian, 29 Apr 1949, p. 15 (obtained from Find A Grave, listing for Charles Marcus Matkin):

The funeral of Charles M. Matkin, 68, who died Wednesday at his home, 1821 SE 35th avenue, will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Davy Sunnyside funeral home. Burial will be in Riverview cemetery.

A native of Makin, Mo., Mr. Matkin came to Portland in 1904 and went to work for Warren Construction company, later becoming the Northwest Construction company. He worked with the same firm until his retirement in 1944.

Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Mida Matkin and a son, Eugene L. Matkin, Tacoma.


The name on his death certificate is Charles M. Matkin. Cause of death was coronary occlusion. He died at home (1821 S.E. 35th Ave.). His father is listed as LeRoy Matkin. The certificate also said that he had lived in Portland for 6 years (or maybe it means at that address for 6 years).
