Dear Boone List, The following is something I happened across, and thought might be of interest to some of the members of this list. It comes from the site below, which is devoted to the history of Hampshire Count, West Virginia. Boone-Hawse License May 21, 1913 A marriage license was issued in Cumberland last Thursday to Curtis Abram Hawse, of Rio, and Hattie Belle Boone, of Rock Oak, this county. --from http://www.hampshirereview.com/hampshirehistory.htm Thu., September 27, 2000 [Note: Rio is in Hampshire County now, but Rock Oak is in Hardy County, just a bit south of the county line. Rock Oak and Rio are about 5-10 miles apart. May 21st was a Thursday so "last Thursday" must mean that the license was granted on Thursday, May 14, 1913.] Arthur Hopkins Bend, Oregon www.coinet.com/~arthopkins/
