To Carol Montrose and anyone else who may be interested, The birth and death certificates for Lawrence Co are located in the Ironton City Health Dept., 2120 S 8th St, Ironton, OH 45638 PH 740-532-2172. They have all surviving local copies of death certificates, but there are large gaps, especially in some of the years shortly after 1908. The State Vital Stats office, or the OHS Archives is a more reliable source, and cheaper. Don Clark, Lawrence County Genealogical Society
