During the last week or so, several people have asked about Graves County couples who married out-of-state or out-of-county and why they might have done that. I just found the following item in Graves County, KY, Newspaper Genealogical Abstracts, Vol. 18, Simmons Historical Publications, page 68: Wednesday, 11-02-1910 "Where to get Married! "If you want to get married, call on H.V. Parrish, Deputy County Court Clerk and Justice of the Peace, Dukedom, Weakley County, Tenn. He will issue the license and marry you while you wait. A full supply of marriage licenses on hand at all times. No better place for a ready marriage than in the office of H.V. Parrish at Dukedom, Tenn." The power of advertising! Betty Ravenholt
