For Diane and anyone else who may be curious: I received 2 divorces from Darke Co, OH. The first one (1892) where she divorced him stated from when they resided in the county, when and where they married, and the names and ages of living children. It went on to say how she conducted herself towards him and what she was charging him with (neglect, gross cruelty, refused to live in the house with her, etc). She went on to say how her husband had an affair with her sister (she was named) and how a child was the result (she didn't name him). She describes how she feels he is healthy enough to go to work and provide for them. Somewhere in there, they argue over the house. He counters, says he denies all allegations, except that he fathered her children (I do have proof that he did have a kid out of wedlock with her sister). He says he provides for them, she can have the house, etc. He describes her as having a vile temper (it's hard to read; I can see vile), and the she tried to poison him with morphine. And then they counter again. More finger pointing at each other, pretty much saying the same thing. She signed with her X and he signed his name. Then they enclosed the court stuff saying the divorce was granted. The other divorce (different couple) was from 1917. Again, she divorces him for neglect and extreme cruelty. Again, since this is Darke Co, they say how long they have lived there. It states when and where married, how many kids they had (named and have ages), that she was married before (named him) and that she has a child by him (first name only and her age). This one goes on to argue about property in both Darke Co and in Anderson, IN. She said how she conducts herself and runs the household and how he does very little. She says how he's borrowed her money and squandered it away. This one did not have any counter from him. It was very interesting to see that in both the women says they "pray" for a divorce from the defendant. I doubt the court system would choose to use the word pray today. I would guess that an annulment would have similar info in regards to when and where married and the kid info. Also the reason for annulment.

Box 1410 Indianapolis, IN 46206 (317) 236-1400 (remember this is 10 years old; area code probably changed) Archivist: Rev. Michael Widner Area included in diocese: Bartholomew, Brown, Clark, Clay, Crawford, Dearborn, Decatur, Fayette, Floyd, Franklin, Hancock, Harrison, Hendricks, Henry, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Johnson, Lawrence, Marion, Monroe, Morgan, Ohio, Orange, Owen, Parke, Perry, Putnam, Ripley, Rush, Scott, Shelby, Switzerland, Union, Vermillion, Vigo, Washington, and Wayne counties and the township of Harrison in Spencer County. Sacramental records for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis were microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah in 1988 (through 1917). They are available for researchers at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City and through its family history centers, the Indiana Historical Society, and at the archdiocesan archives. Baptismal certificates are not issued at the archives, but it will issue abstracts or written copies. Fees: None. Then it lists 5 books about the Diocesan history. I guess it wouldn't hurt to call or write and ask where the annulments are housed. If you get nowhere, email me back and I'll go to my local Catholic church (which used to be # 1 in Los Angeles for granting annulments!) and ask where they are housed. Hope this helps!
