Interesting Data Found In Old Office Records

(Editor's note: This is the second of a series of articles concerning interesting information shown on old records, which are presently being examined by county clerk (Edward F. Jaberg. Records of all types were turned qp during a house-cleaning of the clerk's offi<-e, and /heee will be compared with today's records.) By Dick Heller Jr. . (Staff Reporter) Examination of old marriage returns shows that the same problems existed for our great-grand-parents that exist today—permission for minors to obtain a license to marry. •Even ‘way back in 1857, mipiste'rs and other persons solemnizing marriages in Indiana were required to send certificates back to the clerk’s office. The main difference is, today the certificate must Ih> filled out and returned, together with a statistical paper, within three days; 97 years ago the person marrying the couple was given threp months to get the certificate back to the county clerk. For the year of 1866 couples were required to attach a five cent stamp to the return certificate, but this was discontinued in 1867. as the certificates used that year had the line crossed out requiring stamps. Girls and boys wanted to get

married just as badly 97 years ago, it seems, as they do today. ■However, then it was necessary for them to bring a note from the parents to the clerk, so they could be married. Today one of the parents must accompany minors, but not children who are of legal age. Some of the notes make very interesting reading. especially since (English spelling in America has standardized since the early days. Here are some of the notes; •iMr. Stmcoak please let David Reese have licence to mary Anna McCiain My Daughter October 24th 1'857 John McClain.*' And also, "iMr. F. B. Simcoak pleas to fcme A marriage licencetor the marriage of Jesse T. Watkins to Mary Teeple She being over the age of Eighteen years.
