This was in June 1892. My grandmother was said to be age 17 .... perhaps that's why her mother's name is shown. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

A marriage certificate may not exist, since marriages were not required to be recorded until 1880. If one does exist, the early marriage certificates in Wapello county contain little genealogical information - simply the name of the bride and groom, date of marriage, and name of the minister or justice of the peace who performed the ceremony. If you know the religion of the couple, you might contact the Wapello County Genealogical Society and have them check through church records. Many churches maintained more complete records than the county and many of those records have been compiled by the society (particularly the Catholic and Episcopal churches).

Ottumwa had at least one professional baseball team from 1867 until the 1940s. In 1867, there were two original Ottumwa teams, the Appanoose and the Actives. Other names included the Harvards and the Coal Palace Nine (1890) - all of which are probably way before your father's time. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

Marysville was the original name of the town of Competine. The name was changed because there was another town by the name of Marysville in Keokuk county (Still is as a matter of fact). When I get a chance, I will check the Competine cemetery and see if your ancestor is located there. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.
