Index to Justice Criminal Record, Lake County, Ohio, 1889-1894

"State of Ohio, Lake County. Justice's Court for Painesville Township," Is how the title reads. These are cases before E. Huntington, Justice of the Peace for Painesville Township. The work begins in October of 1889 and continues through 1894. There is a very occassional substitute for the J. P. The book consists of about 300 used pages, the beginning and ending are blank. There are 215 indexed entries, with some names repeated. The information found there includes name of offender, offense charged, others involved, decision made and fees for the case. Some of these defendants were acquitted. Not all names of victims were put in this index.


The handwriting is not always distinguishable, so there may be other interpretations of names. Widely browsing the list is suggested. Always consult the "original" for much more case detail.


The volume is kept by the Clerk of Courts in Common Pleas, 25 N. Park Place, Painesville, Ohio. It is digitized and is found on their site under "Historical Naturalization Records" https://recordroom.cottsystems.com/lakeoh/guest/search/oib On the right side, the top search engine is for index books and cards. The search engine below that is for unindexed records, where this will be found.
