Hi- I know about the historical society. They have obituaries and old
newspapers and death records before 1908. They will also have a folder and
file on the Miller name which is very helpful. Death certificates after
1908 are kept at the Ripley health dept. The historical society may also
have deeds there also. I beleive they have deed books for each year of
Ripley county. Their number is 812- 689- 3032.
The health dept will look up a death cerificate for you also if they died
in Ripley county. Their number is 812-689-0506. Hope this helps and good
luck in your research.

Subject: [Ripley Co IN] Ripley Co. deed & death questions
Can anyone tell me what records may be available at the Ripley County
Courthouse or
Historical society regarding the 1870's?
According to the Violet Toph records on the web, JOHN MILLER of Shelby
Township
married HANNAH HILL (sometimes seen spelled as HELL) on 14 July,
1876. In the 1880 census Hannah Miller is widowed and living with her
parents and siblings in Ripley County.
I want to find out when / why John died and confirm that he is my
great-grandfather's brother, either from a marriage license or death notice.
I also want to trace the ownership (forward and backward for at least 10
years) of
a farm that John Miller Sr. deeded to two of his children (Peter
and Matthias) between 1878 and 1880. I have the legal description ( NE 1/4
of NW 1/4 Sec 34, Twnsp 6, Range 10E) Is it possible to search the records
by parcel?
I'm willing to make the trip to Indiana if the records are available.
Thanks,
Jan
