The death record ( one line across two pages of a large volume) would be in the county in which he died.. Since you have a date and wife was living in Cincinnati, you might check the Cincinnati paper, than back in Belmont Co. where they resided previously. Just some thoughts.

According to papers I have he resided in Bellaire and was a coal miner. He was killed on 25 Dec 1877 at the age of 31. His wife resided in Hamilton County, OH at the time he died. Where would I go to find a death certificate for him? Any help would be most gratefully appreciated. > Thanks, > Yvette > >
