Griggs & Company, 1859 pg. 47)as Egbert Von Vlack, 12 N. Wells. He left Des Plaines, IL, and went to Portland, OR, with his son Clark's child. The child predeceased him. Egbert died in Oregon. Cemetery records state that he was buried on November 3, 1915 in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, Portland, OR. Conflicting information about his death is that his widow (Bertha) is listed in the 1902 Portland directory as "widow to Egbert." Egbert may have had two more children by Bertha: Clara and William C. who were also listed in the Portland Directory in 1902.
