I have been looking over some of my old records, and found copies of Criminal Court records. In many of them, there are people charged with theft of storage batteries. Evidently they were rented for 25 cents a day, and not returned. What in the world are storage batteries? Does anyone know? I have looked it up, and nothing is listed. These records are early 1950's, and I will not be posting them anywhere, it is possible some of the people are still living, and I don't really see any genealogy interest in them. On the other hand, I am just plain nosey, and enjoyed reading them. I also enjoyed tremendously discovering my brother was arrested in 1952 for driving without a license, and reading my parents had to post bond for him. I immediately sent copies to my brother, and his children. I never heard a word of this, never, and though I would have been 4 at the time, you would think at sometime someone would have mentioned it. Most of these cases deal with driving offenses, a few husbands deserting their wives, and quite a few of these storage battery thefts. If any of you know what a storage battery is, and what they were used for, I would love to hear about it.
