Marriage Notes:
Apparently Clarissa went by the name of Ellen quite a bit which was mistakenly entered as Helen on this marriage register. Note that at this time, the father was married to Mary Ellen Fast who was listed on this marriage record as the mother even though it is believed that Marjorie Fast, the 1st wife of Rezin, was the actual mother.
