Deschutes County, Oregon Public Records

• Where can I find a 1971 obituary for Elaine L. Ferrell?
  Archived newspapers can sometimes be found at the library local to the event and publication containing the obituary. These are free searches on microfilm available to the public. However, they are not generally accessed online and require visiting the library's physical location. An online search can only take you so far but can help with the runaround. The library may also have a website featuring what they have and access by the public. Publications/newspapers also maintain archives that can be looked into online also. There are obituary search portals specializing in obituaries, but they may be limited in what they are presently showing online.
• Where can I find arrest records for a person?
  You can request records from the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office offers the forms and instructions on how to get a copy of documents. There's a fee for the papers, but it's low and takes up to a couple of weeks.
