There were two for William Henry Metcalf Jr. but none for his father. Though Martha was born in Minnesota, it could be that she was in a neighboring county before her marriage to WH Sr. . The only other Metcalf marriage during this time period was for a Thomas married to Iva Kennedy in 1891. I extracted information from the two WH Jr marriages and the death record of WH Sr. If you don't have these I can relay that info also. Nancy Pundsack
