DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Location
112.I.10.3B-2Mothers' Pension Record, 1917-1926.
For each case, there is a copy of the Juvenile Court's "Findings and order for county allowance" form, and on the verso or subsequent pages, a record of payments to the mother, October 1917 - August 1926. Spine title: "Juvenile Court Orders No. 1."
Mothers' Pension Record, 1917-1937.
A continuation of the above volume, recording payments for September 1926 - August 1937. Spine title: "County Aid to Mothers Record 2."
This volume was transferred to the State Archives from the county auditor, and appears to contain the auditor’s record of payments. However, the printed pages are headed “Juvenile Court,” the signatures are of the juvenile court judges, and it directly continues the volume above, and therefore was transferred from the auditor’s records to the juvenile court records for cataloging purposes.
