Last week at Clermont County Common Pleas, I found this journal entry for Catherine Berst Arbogast: J S Burnaugh (out in the margin) 3784 Catharine Arbogast by her next friend B F Acra, Plaintiff Against W A Dallas, Jno Moore, Marshall Dumford, defts May 22 1759 Petition filed and summons issued June 17 Motion filed August 23rd Demurrer filed. Then another entry: Term 1869 (top of page) 3784 Catharine Arbogast against W A Dallas, etal. This date this cause came on to be heard upon motion of defendant to separately state and number the several causes of action ** (looks like "to") and the Court being fully advised in the premises do find that said motion is not well taken and the same is overruled. Was "her next friend" the term for a lawyer? Was B F Acra a Brown County lawyer? Catherine Berst had been accidentally disinherited in 1860 when her father, Jacob, died in testate and Clermont County appointed W A Dallas, Jno Moore, and Marshall Dumford administrators of his estate. They ran ads in the Clermont County Courier trying to locate Catherine, but she was living in the Village of Arnheim in Brown County, Franklin Township, with the Ludwig Braun/Louis Brown family probably as an indentured servant. At the time of her petition in Clermont County, she had been married for about 1 month to Theodor Arbogast, hence the name change. Thanks, Buffy

I am interested in knowing when The Children's Home in Brown County was established. I searched the 1850 and 1860 (page by page) census of Brown and Clermont counties and did not find an orphanage, or a large group of unrelated children enumerated together. If the Children's Home was in operation in the 1850s, can someone tell me which township it was in? I guess I missed it. It might provide me with a link to where Jacob Berst of first Campbell County, KY and later Clermont County, OH might have placed Catherine Berst before she was indentured to the Braun/Brown family in the Village of Arnheim (ca. 1850s). In "Child Placing in Ohio," which was published by the Division of Charities, Dept. of Public Welfare in Columbus Ohio in 1928, I read: p. 42: "BROWN COUNTY, POPULATION 22,621 "Brown County, a rural county of about 22,000 population, stretching along the Ohio River, with the county seat at Georgetown, was the first county to take advantage of the foregoing law in the abandonment of the Children's Home. This institution, a large rambling brick structure, built many decades ago, was in such bad condition that the commissioners were faced with abandonment and rebuilding a new institution or adopting the other plan of appointing a Child Welfare Board which would proceed to care for the children in family homes. "The latter was done after the old institution was legally abandoned and closed in 1922. A placing agent was secured and home finding became an active concern of the board and placing agent. One family licensed to board as many as six children has served for the past few years as the receiving home where children first come and stay temporarily until they are placed in other foster homes. "Since the Child Welfare Board has taken charge of the work in 1922, they have had 71 wards who have been cared for in this manner." And on p. 10,: CHILDREN IN INFIRMARIES, JAILS AND REFORM SCHOOLS "In 1853 township trustees, overseers of the poor, and certain public officers were given legal rights to "bind out" orphan children to any orphan asylum incorporated under the laws of the state, the children to remain in said orphan asylum until the trustees should find suitable homes for them when they might be indentured at service. Thus the dependent, neglected child was either "bound out" to the few private orphan asylums then existing with the possibility of placement by the trustees of the asylum; was indentured to a private family directly by the township trustees or overseers of the poor, or was sent to the jail, infirmary, or an overcrowded reform school. For years thereafter and until the County Children's Home system got under way, most of the dependent children were tragic objects of humanity, swarming the infirmaries that housed the dregs of adult and senile society. There were 2273 children under 16 years of age under care in the infirmaries during the year 1877 (Annual Report of Ohio Board State Charities, 1876, p. 103) ." On p. 6, "That placing dependent children in the care of private families was early practiced by Ohio institutions and agencies was brought to light time and again by the old Ohio Board of State Charities after its creation in 1867, with general inspectional powers to ascertain the conditions in all charitable institutions. It was not, however, until 1913 that the care and protection of the dependent children of the State became an active and specialized function of the state government." Thanks to anyone who even reads all this! Buffy

Looking again for any info on Dr. Wm. B. McCormick b. 1814 in Bracken Co., Ky., md. Anna Maria Meeks about 1837, d. 1904 in Bracken Co., Ky. Per census records, he and his family were in Lewis Twp. in Brown Co., Ohio in both 1840 and 1850. Further his children were born in Ohio (presume Brown Co.) i.e. Louellen 1838, James L. 1841, Eliza Jane ~1843, Lucy Amanda ~1846, Charles R. ~1848, Matilda ~1850, and Lide ~1853. I am looking for any info on him while in Brown Co. especially having to do with his marriage and his medical practice. Was there any medical association back then that maintained records of physicians? Any guidance would be appreciated. Art Miller, Louisville

Although I did not find the record of indenture for my great-grandmother yesterday when I visited the Recorder's Office, I did find some interesting court cases mentioned in the various journals there. The Recorder's Office employees didn't know where I might find the cases and I didn't have time to check at the Brown County Courthouse. The cases date back to the mid-to-late 1800s. Might they actually be at the courthouse or might they be stored at some other facility in Georgetown? Of most interest to me is: CP 1310 Magdaline Koob vs. Jacob Arbogast. This I found in Execution Docket No. 6. Common Please, 1871. The outcome: Filed judgement for plaintiff May 5, 1873. It reads: "Real Estate to wit Situate in the Township of Ripley, County of Brown and State of Ohio being part of (looks like the period punction mark) in Lot in Sard? Saru Town known and .....in the Recorded Plat of Sard or Saru Town by thirty-two (32). fronting ??? feet on Market Street and running back sixty feet." Does it appear that he had a dispute with a neighbor? I an surprised that my great-grandfather owned land! I checked for a will and never found one. I wrote to the Probate COurt and they never found one either...... Judging from the census, it "appears" that his property or residence passed to his son Joseph. He lwas enumerated with Joseph towards the end of his life in 1880. I would like to find the court "case." Thanks, Buffy CP 696 A & J (T?)rounstine & Co. vs. Peter Krummert filed April 15, 1862 (from the Execution Docket 2, p. 387)
