A lot of folks where the girl was underage went to Oklahoma to get married as they did not ask any questions and did not have a waiting period like Texas did. They also did not have a blood test requirement. This went on from 1900 up to the 1960's. A lot of folks from Paris TX. Cooper, Delta Co. and Van Alystine went to Hugo, Choctaw Co. OK for marriage also. It was "just across the river." It was close enough that you could get there and get married before anyone could protest it. Charlie
