Margaret Young Markin's Marriage Record

Margaret's mother died of Menengitis when Margaret was six years old. She then lived with her aunt Kate and uncle Joe Willis. Kate and Joe had one daughter named Clara.

Leonard and Margaret supposedly went to the movies one night, but they really crossed the Ohio/Michigan border and got married. Also, I was told that Margaret's father was a traveling salesman. We have no recorded name for him; except in this document, if it's legitimate. The other names aren't right either - Margaret is not Marguerite (although that is her grandmother's middle name) and Elizabeth's last name was not Halsey. Maybe it was Luther's last name. Still researching this family puzzle, but I was thrilled to have a documented marriage record.Maybe they changed names around also because Margaret was only 15 when they married. Her real birthdate was 1907, not 1903.
