The following divorces were taken from various newspapers and court records in Lawrence County, Ohio. Please
keep in mind that in some of these cases, there was just a suit FILED for divorce, and there wasn’t any indication whether the divorce was actually awarded. I just pulled what was put in the newspapers as it was printed and have no other information concerning these divorces.
