DEATHS 1856-1857 OHIO The cross road of our nation Records & Pioneer Families April-June 1964 Vol. V No. II Published by Esther Weygandt Powell - NO COPYRIGHT DEATH RECORD OF PORTAGE COUNTY, OHIO FOR 1856-1857 Compiled by Richard E. Wilson, 113 Oak Ave, Sidney, Ohio In 1856, the Ohio State Legislature passed an act providing for the recording of births, deaths and marriages in each county. There are not many counties, which have these existing records, but a few of the Portage County, Ohio township assessor's death reports have survived and are now deposited at Kent State University Library, Kent, Ohio. I have transcribed these deaths and have arranged them alphabetically. There are fifty-one deaths listed but there were probably more since all of the township assessors reports were not found.
