As you noted they were married on June 15, 1940. The person performing the ceremony was Rev. Arthur T. Tipton, a minister of the Christian Church (not a Justice of the Peace). They were both single and white> The husband's age is given as 23 and the place of his birth and his residence are both given as Columbus, OH. His father's first name is Frank and his mother's first name is Ethel (no maiden name given). His occupation is given as stock clerk. Katherena's age is given as 21. Her place of birth is given as Yale or Yole, Illinois (I cannot find either spelling in the Atlas that I have). Her residence is Columbus, OH. Her father's first name is given as Corwin and her mother's first name is Helen (no maiden name given). The witnesses of the marriage are William Cunningham and Helen Snyder. I was unable to find a record for a marriage of William Cunningham and Helen Snyder in the Campbell County records. The names William Cunningham and Helen Snyder both appear in the records; but there is no instance in which they married one another. I will have to check in Kenton County to see whether they may have obtained a license there. In Kentucky one may obtain a marriage license in any county in the state and be married in any county in the state. But the marriage record is kept in the county where the license was issued. Newport and Covington are separated only by the Licking River. So it is possible that they may have obtained there license in Covington and been married in Newport. But the record would be house in Covington. Bob
