Notes: Marriage (Ruth M. Lawrence):
Mar. 6, 1943 was the date of their orig. marr. license; typically couples going this distance for marriage, not at a resort, were married the same day, as verified on their orig. marr. cert. The record filers for Latter Day Saints mistakenly filed in under NC records, but both the orig. marr. license, and orig. marr. cert. clearly state York Co., SC as license place, and marriage place.
