I have a receipt from the Health Dept dated 1/20/2000 for 3 copies of Death Certs and I was charged $6.00. The clerk who signed it is Bertha Williams. They may have chaged their policy since then but in 2000 a copy was $2.00 picked up in person

Hello, OK, I think I have it figured out. It was an old email from Chas. McKinley that finally made a light go off above my head! LOL Martin D. McCarty visited Barbara Allman Riffle alot while her husband (Joseph Riffle) was out of town. That may be one of the reasons the old Jonas McCarty left him out of the Will. This has been a headache for our McCarty family for months. We have a descendent of Samuel's brother Jona's already in our Clan. His name is Martin "Ed" McCarty. We would like to name his ancestors for him. In particular I would like to get a look at that marriage liscense to see the parents clearly. 13 Nov 1881 Samuel McCarty mar Lorinda Laughlin V-4, P-215, L-642 2. Lorinda LAUGHLIN.

Diana, In most counties of Ohio, COUNTY level birth and death records begin about 1867. The State of Ohio began recording deaths on the STATE level about October 1908, though it took several months for full compliance. The early birth and death registrations records (from 1867) for Vinton County have been microfilmed. You can order or study the films from your local FHC (LDS Family History Center), or have someone who volunteers or works in those archives search for the record for you. I hope this helps.

Hi Vinton County Group At what year do the death certificates begin that are kept at the Health Department? I know the date of death, Abraham Bryson - 20 May 1884, Madison Township - but do not know who to contact to get the copy.

Vinton County has a historical society located in 'Alice's house'. They have computers and publish a newsletter with bits from old newspapers and sometimes direct pages from the two main history books. Older newspapers were far better than today's version from Vinton county. It is common for me to look through 1960's papers and see 7 or 8 names that I know or was related to. The Vinton Courier was idle for a while and news was combined with a Jackson county paper. The latest courier is printed by the Athens Messenger company and no longer has Gossip-society columns from local residents. In it's place are advertisements and such instead of who was visiting who or who was made president of a quilt club or who got hurt etc.

That would be nice of them. You could help alot of people that just can't make it to Vinton Co. Does Vinton have a Historical Society and is it one line.? Did I tell you that I really appreciate your help?? Thanks Madge

<PRE> If she died in Vinton county, then there will be a certificate for her. The health dept. keeps a typed index in a notebook. I should try to get them to let me copy each page for reference and put it in the Library. Perhaps I could make a deal with them or something.

Hi , First of all thank you so much for sending me a copy of Minnie's death cerf. I really do appreciate it alot. If you ever come across a Clara Ellington born abt. 1886 and died abt 1907. I know that she died at the age of 21 ,she also died of TB. In your searching if you would keep an eye open for her I would appreciate it alot. Again Thanks so much for your help . Madge

It can depend on the document that you are copying. By Ohio statute, uncertified copies of records have to be provided "at cost." However, there is another statute that requires County Recorders to charge $1.00 per page of a deed.

<PRE> They were free at the Heath dept. yesterday, you fill out a small form. $9.00 if certified. Courthouse may charge. Library is 10 cents.

They were free of charge in July. Maybe they got too many requests all at once and decided to charge. Every where else charges. (but not $1.00 !!) Susie

photocopies are not free, they charged me a buck a piece on site

<PRE> The infirmary stood on the grounds now occupied by McArthur Lumber and post, across Infirmary road from Elk Fork cemetery. It was really a paupers graveyard, accounts say that there were wooden monuments. I've seen a mention of the location of the graveyard and it's poor condition from 50 yrars ago, I believe it was across route 93, possibly on or near the new fair grounds.

Hi, Thanks so much for the information. Minnie is my Great Aunt . William my great grandfather and his wife had 5 children and only 2 lived beyond the age of 21. The other ones all died from TB. Where is the County Infirmary? I was in Marion,Ohio in the spring and I was lucky and found the grave of my great grandfather William Ellington.I hope to make a trip to Vinton County and Gallia County next year.Thanks for your help.I really do appreciate it alot.

I have a copy of Minnie's death certificate. There was no obituary for her in the Library but there was one for William Ellington which turned out to be her father. This was the only Ellington obit in the collection. Minnie Alice Ellington was born Sept, 12, 1892 in Kentucky. Father was William Ellington and Ella Coffman. Address of informant (William) was McArthur. She suffered from Tuberculosis for several years and was in the County Infirmary where she died on Aug 7, 1913. She was 20 years, 10 months and 25 days. She was buried at the county infirmary, therefore no monument. Obituary from McArthur Republican Tribune 3,21,1923. William Ellington, a former resident of mcArthur, died in St. Anthony's Hospital, Columbus, Wednesday March 14, from Tuberculosis, aged 62 years. Surviving are two sons, Edward and John of marion, O, where the remains were taken and where burial took place Saturday.

Who is researching the MARK surname? It may be possible that Mary Polly Mark born abt 1826 Ohio was the mother of our unknown Jonas & Samuel McCarty.
