From http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/death1.html:

Before 1867
Ohio did not make it a law to keep death records until 1867.

1867 through December 19, 1908
Ohio made it a law to record deaths in 1867. County probate courts kept
death records between 1867 and December 19, 1908. There is no statewide
index to death records from 1867 through December 19, 1908. Go to the
list of county probate court death records held at the Ohio Historical
Society http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/death2.html. If the
Ohio Historical Society does not hold a county's death records, please
contact the county's probate court. A list of county courthouse contacts
is available at Ohio County Courthouse Addresses
http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/cthouse.html.

December 20, 1908 through December 31, 1944
The state of Ohio began issuing certificates for deaths on December 20,
1908. The Ohio Historical Society holds death certificates for the
entire state of Ohio from December 20, 1908 through December 31, 1944.
You may wish to visit our online Ohio Death Certificate Index for
1913-1937 http://www.ohiohistory.org/dindex/.

January 1, 1945 to the present
Death certificates from 1945 to the present are held by the Ohio
Department of Health. You should contact the Ohio Department of Health
at the address below for information concerning their request
procedures.

Does anyone know when Ohio began keeping death records and where they
can be accessed?

Thank you.
