Relatively speaking —

Ohio records may be closed

I By DORIS McMANIS CAMDEN House Bill 790 has passed in the Ohio House of Representatives. What is H.B. 790? And what is the difference? It would close a significant portion of Ohio’s open

DORIS MCMANIS CAMDEN <■* records. Affected would be birth, death, marriage and divorce records in the possession of health departments and probate courts. As family historians, we are very concerned that these records be kept open. If the records were closed, it would be necessary to prove to someone that one has a direct and tangible interest in the record. This would be burdensome and might depend on whimsey, mood or prejudice of the person handling the records. This should not happen anywhere. The passage of this bill would stop genealogical research in the State of Ohio. It would seriously

affect family researchers, the most popular avocation in the country. We know that it is necessary to search records of people not members of our family in order to find our own. It would delete vital information such hs the names of parents, their place of birth, the name of informants and their relationship to the person from birth certificates, causing useless documents. It would authorize destruction of original records of historical value. These are records that belong to the public and should remain so. Ohio land grants were awarded to many soldiers of the American Revolution, and from that time on, Ohio has been an important gate to westward migration and affects most of us as Indiana researchers. Now is the time to point out that, if passed, H.B. 790 would decrease citizens’ knowledge of their heritage, ruin genealogical societies and severely affect tourism in Ohio. Vacations and seminars take people to Ohio to eat, stay in motels, shop and buy gas. Now is the time for all good genealogists to write a letter pointing out all of these objections to H.B. 790. Write to: Senator David Hobson; Health and Human Services Committee; Ohio Senate; State House; Columbus, 0hi043215. 335. Did Charles W. HOLMAN and Deliah BURNS marry in Kosciusko Co., and if so, when? Wish marriage record of Ellen HOLMAN, if she grew to adulthood. Son of Catherine HOLMAN PERBONETT states he was born in Kosciusko Co.

The board also voted to recommend approval of the petition of Robert and Joyce Kline for a preliminary plat for a residential subdivision on a 71.30 acre traei of ground. The property is located on the south side of CR 200S and west of SR 15 in Wayne Township, just west of Walnut Creek Church and Maple Run Addition. Larry Long, engineer, represented the Klines and said the acreage will be subdivided into 72 lots, with the minimum size being one-half acre. Asphalt streets of generous width and curbs and gutters are planned. Long said that three entrances are proposed, with one off CR 200S located to provide good sight distance of oncoming traffic. He added that the soil analysis of the area shows a fair range of soils from sandy to heavier clay. Two storm water retention basins will be built with controlled outlets to

a county ditch. Three petitions were on the agenda asking for rezoning of lots in Enchanted Hills Subdivision on the east side of Wawasee Lake from residential to commercial use. The board approved two of the petitions as it voted to recommend the zoning change for adjacent lots 624, owned by Columbia Realty, and 625, owned by Henry and Mary Utermark. There were no letters of remonstrance on file and no remonstrators present on these petitions. The third petition, by Columbia Realty, was to rezone a lot on the east side of old state road 13A, northwest of Fascination Way in Enchanted Hills. It did not fare so well as the board voted unanimously to not recommend its rezoning. Several area residents and attorney Jack Lawson, representing Wawasee Property Owners Association and Waveland Beach Association, rose to voice remonstrance against the proposed zoning change. Attorney Rich Helm, speaking for Columbia Realty, pointed out that the properties in question had been zoned commercial when' Enchanted Hills was platted. The area was then converted to the county zoning ordinance in 1975. He said at that time, through error they were rezoned to residential. His clients were thus asking for lots 430 and altered lots 408 and 409 to be returned to commercial zoning. Helm stated that to his knowledge there are no specific things planned for the properties. He said he thinks they were changed from commercial through an error when the county zoning took effect. • -a 'Legend' at Wawasee Copies of the 1988 yearbook the “Legend” are currently being distributed at Wawasee High School.
