bullet  Marriage Notes:

Clerk's Certificate as to Marriage, 3 Jan 1869, Marengo, Iowa, Book C, page 195, Iowa County, Iowa. Shows J. A. Darner to E. J. Sweezey married by Justice of the Peace Wm. Clyde.

The following sketchy record shows the marriage occurred on 24 May 1869 instead of 3 Jan 1869. Perhaps the Clerk issued the license on 3 Jan 1869 but the ceremony did not occur until 24 May 1869. Normally the time difference is only a few day or weeks at the most.

Groom's Name - J. A. Darner
Bride's Name - E. J. Sweezey
Marriage Date - 24 May 1869
Marriage Place - Iowa County, Iowa
Indexing Project (Batch) Number - M02544-4
