The following document was prepared from a copy of the original by Brunetta Lafara Lingg.


Marriage Certificate
Thomas Valcour SHOCKLEY & Carrie Vernon YOUNG

Part of the text on the face of the License has been concealed by a seal. I am placing what I believe to be the correct text in [square brackets]. (My additions are taken from a similar document from 1929 which has the seal in a slightly different position).
Where the text is handwritten, I am using underlined italics.




Copied from the Front of the License:
