  Marriage Notes:

Their marriage record says they were married 25 Oct 1939, but they were actually married 25 Nov 1939 in Springvale where Bug was working with his future father-in-law, Isaac Suitor. It's a strange record, because it is stamped for York county, but it was filled out by Fred Kenney, the Knox town clerk.
