For those of you who were waiting for the transcription of the NorthWEST Missouri Book, I still plan on transcribing the index, but would be more than happy to look in the index for your family's surname or county, and give you the page numbers to ask for at the Oklahoma Historical Society. Both "The History of NorthEAST Missouri" and "The History of NorthWEST Missouri" are by the same Author, Walter Williams, each has 3 volumes, and were published by The Lewis Publishing Company in 1915. Again, sorry for inconveniencing anyone. Life is funny like that....just when you have it under control, it throws you a curve. please write to me personally at: mailto:vashti@theshop.net and not to this list, thanks. Nalora

I am no longer able to do transcriptions from the book History of NE Missouri listed on the Chariton County Web page. The book is rebound and back from the binders and is housed at the Oklahoma Historical Society Library. You can write to them and obtain copies of the pages you want, and transcribe them yourself and submit them to the Chariton County page. The OHS library will charge you for copies and mailing. Their URL is: http://www.ok-history.mus.ok.us/ and this has addresses and phone numbers. You can call to find out any fees for their services. Please be specific about the Book title, and the pages you want. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Events in my personal life have precluded my continuing this work. Thank you all for your patience. Nalora

Each entry includes groom, bride, marriage date, county, and state. Every name is indexed so you can search for one name, or two names that are linked. The marriage date is usually the date of marriage as given in the original entry. However, when no marriage date is given (e.g., the "marriage return" was not provided to the record keeper), the date of the license is used. In a few cases, a marriage will be listed twice, but in two different counties. This most often happened when a couple obtained a license in one county, but were actually married in another. These marriage records, compiled by Liahona Research at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT, unfortunately do not contain citations for the origin of each entry. The purpose of this database is to provide a time and place for as many marriages as possible. It is up to the researcher to examine original records (see the Family History Library Catalog--available at any LDS family history center-- under the heading "Vital Records" for the appropriate locality) and gather whatever additional genealogical information is desired.

THOMAS, formerly of Carrollton, was married at her Colorado home last week. The "TRIBUNE", published at Rocky Ford, Colo, has the following to say concerning the ceremony: A quiet wedding was solemnized Thursday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.E. THOMAS on North Eighth Street, when their youngest daughter, Miss Mayme E. [Ethel] THOMAS became the bride of Earl Don THIMPSON, of Chillicothe, MO. Following Lohengrin's Wedding March, which was played promptly at 2 o'clock by Mrs. Charles DARIND, the ceremony was performed by Rev. G.H. STUNTZ, of the Methodist Church. The house was artistically decorated with pink and white roses, carnations, and smilax and the bride, who was attractive in her going away suit, carried a bouquet of Lilies of the Valley and Orchids. The bride, who is a very charming young lady, has only been in Rocky Ford a few months, coming here, with her parents, from Colorado Springs. She formerly resided in Carrollton and it was there the friendship formed which culminated in the wedding. Mr. THOMPSON is the proprietor of Ladies Furnishing Stores in Chillicothe, and is highly respected and esteemed by all who know him. The ceremony was witnessed by the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. THOMAS, and the groom's mother, Mrs. Steka THOMPSON, of Chillicothe, who accompanied her son to this city Monday, Mrs. Geo.
