Dear RoxAnna,
I forgot one good one.Contact the public library of the town the priest lived in in 1920, tell them you have him on the census, and ask if they have any newspaper articles about him.Give the name of the church where he served if you have it. Some libraries do the search for free; some do it for free only if you live in their service area.The Portland, OR library charges $15 if you live outside their service area, so that's what you can expect.Be sure to ask if they have an obituary.
Sincerely,
Kate
